Enjoy a Professional Cleaning
All too often, it is believed that brushing and flossing at home are enough to ward off dental complications, like tooth decay. While they are effective, it is only half of the care you need. Even with the best brushing and flossing habits, there are still areas in your mouth where you cannot clean at home. As a result, plaque and tartar will accumulate. To remove the buildup, you need the help of your family dentist in Aurora.
Our friendly dental hygienist will use special dental tools to clean hard-to-reach places, like below the gum line. Your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned and polished to promote a healthy smile. They will also take the time to discuss your home oral hygiene routine and make recommendations for improvement to help you maintain your oral health in between your appointments.
Benefit from a Complete Checkup
Often, it is thought that you do not need to see your dentist until after a problem has develop, but this is not true. Regular checkups allow your dentist to prevent certain issues from developing in the first place, like gum disease. They will monitor your oral health to detect areas of concern while they are still small. With quick treatment, it will prevent them from worsening. This not only reduces your risk of needing an invasive treatment in the future, but it also helps to decrease your long-term dental costs.
During your appointment, we will preform a complete checkup to evaluate the health of your teeth and gums and also checking for other issues that can impact the health of your mouth and body, like oral cancer.
