Scheduling and attending regular cleanings is important for your dental health for two reasons: because Dr. Michael Scholes or your dental hygienist has been professionally trained to clean and take care of your teeth in a way that you cannot do on your own, and also because these exams give your dentist a chance to examine and evaluate your dental health in a proactive way that will help prevent any serious problems.
During the regular cleanings at Scholes Family Dental, you can expect your dentist or hygienist to perform the following tasks:
• Scaling
• Root Planing
• Polishing
• Flossing
• Providing fluoride treatments
• And more
Through these steps and treatments, the plaque and tartar from the usually unreachable spots of your teeth will be removed, your gums will be cleaned in pockets that your home hygienic instruments cannot clean, and your teeth will be polished. During which time, the dentist and hygienist have a chance to look for abnormalities and begin to evaluate the condition of older work and restorations that have been performed for your dental health.
Attending regular dental cleanings is important because it will help you avoid unnecessary dental problems. Schedule an appointment with us today, and let us know when we can schedule your next teeth cleaning in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
