What can I expect during my dental examination and cleaning at Riverside Dental Clinic?
Our Drumheller, Alberta practice is equipped to help new and current patients maintain their oral health and wellness with the assistance of our experienced team. In addition to helping patients fight gum disease and fill cavities, we recommend that patients take a proactive approach to their dental health with preventive dentistry solutions. This includes dental examinations and cleanings.
During your routine checkup appointment, our team will evaluate your smile for signs of issues, including bone loss, tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other problems that may require treatment. This may include dental X-rays, used for diagnostic purposes to evaluate the smile beyond what the eyes can see. Then, our dental hygienists will perform the dental cleaning, during which plaque, tartar, and calculus are removed. If needed, our team will also apply a fluoride treatment or a dental sealant to strengthen and protect the teeth. When you leave our office, your smile will be cleaned and refreshed with the help of our professionals!
How often do I need to see the dentist?
The American Dental Association, or ADA, encourages individuals of all ages to visit their dentist twice a year, or every six months, for a cleaning and examination. Patients with conditions such as tooth decay or periodontal disease may need to visit their dental team more often to monitor these conditions and help get the smile back to health.
