 Cleanings & Prevention
Prevention and early detection are the keys to avoiding tooth decay and gum disease. 
A good home regimen, in addition to regular check-ups and visits, can spare you many 
expensive dental treatments. Prevention starts with controlling plaque, a colorless 
bacteria that sticks to the surface of your teeth, and calculus, a harder mineral 
deposit.These are the main sources of decay and disease. By maintaining a proper 
routine of daily hygiene, you can avoid most oral maladies.

Exams & Cleanings
Exams are usually performed by our specialists on your regular dental visits. The 
dental exam helps your dentist to detect problems at very early stages.
In case some issues are found, our dentists carry on with the cleaning process that 
usually implies a thorough removal of tartar, plaque, and teeth polishing.
X-Rays
Dental x-rays are pictures of the teeth, 
bones, and soft tissues around them to 
help find problems with the teeth, 
mouth, and jaw. It shows cavities, 
hidden dental structures like wisdom 
teeth, and bone loss that cannot be 
seen during a visual examination.

determine the best options for any 
problems which may be found.

 Home Care
As your dentist office you know that we are fully committed to your dental care. We 
do not want you to neglect your dental hygiene needs at home. For our patients who 
want to know how to take care of their teeth between office visits, here are a few 
guidelines to ensure that your teeth and gums stay clean and healthy.
I. Flossing:  Dentists do not just tell you that flossing is important in order to make 
your life more difficult. Flossing makes sure that your teeth are fully clean. Proper 
daily flossing can prevent both cavities and gum disease.
II. Teeth Brushing: Daily brushing is one of the most important things you can do for 
your teeth. Ideally, you should thoroughly brush your teeth after each meal and 
snack. At the very least you should brush twice daily in the morning and at bedtime 
for at least 2 minutes each time.
III. Rinsing: Although we encourage you to brush your teeth after each meal, we 
understand that sometimes this is not possible. If you are away from home and do not 
have a toothbrush on hand, a simple rinse with water can remove some of the larger 
food particles from your teeth.

Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing 
Periodontal Scaling & root planing is also 
known as deep cleaning. Many patients ask 
what is the exact difference between normal 
and deep cleaning. The two procedures are 
quite different.
Normal cleaning is a procedure that is usually 
done twice a year on a relatively healthy 
patient. It is a prophylactic procedure that 
helps ensure continual gum health. Scaling 
and root planning is done on a patient with 
deep pockets where active periodontal 
disease is occurring. 
Sealants and Fluoride
Sealants are a clear or white material applied to the chewing surfaces of the teeth 
that forms a barrier to plaque and food, thus helping prevent cavities. More than 
75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves. Sealants protect the chewing 
surfaces from tooth decay by keeping germs and food particles out of these 
grooves by providing a smooth, easy to clean surface. Sealants are long lasting, but 
should be checked during regular dentist visits.
