Comprehensive Exam And Cleaning
Maintaining good oral hygiene requires professional dental cleanings to keep your smile healthy. Regular dental visits with your hygienist and dentist provide an opportunity to address any questions or concerns you may have. Your cleaning and appointment will involve removing plaque, a sticky and harmful film on your teeth, and calculus or tartar, which is hardened plaque that can only be removed with special dental instruments. Teeth polishing removes stubborn plaque and stains that cannot be removed by brushing alone.
A complete dental exam includes examining diagnostic x-rays to detect decay, tumours, cysts, and bone loss. Oral cancer screening, gum disease evaluation, and checking for tooth decay and existing restorations are also conducted. Our dedicated staff at Tooth Port Dental Centre provides customized x-ray scheduling and ensures that your teeth are the cleanest and healthiest they can be. Good oral health is connected to your overall health, and we are here to help you keep your teeth for life.
