Dental Exams and Cleanings in North Bethesda
Your oral health is our top priority at North Bethesda Dental Associates. The most important preventative measure to ensure healthy teeth (outside of brushing and flossing twice a day) is to have a professional exam and teeth cleaning twice a year.
These are essential components of good oral health, and can reduce the likelihood of future dental issues because our doctors at our North Bethesda dental practice can intervene early.
At your oral exam, your doctor will discuss any concerns or changes you’ve seen with your health and answer any questions you have. They will inspect your teeth and gums and look for signs of tooth decay, gum disease and provide a pain-free oral cancer screening. They may recommend an X-ray when needed in order to provide a more comprehensive look into your oral health and be able to diagnose any issues.
Your dental hygienist will then remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, and remove stains. We also recommend a fluoride varnish to conclude your dental cleaning. Your hygienist will give you tips on how to brush and floss effectively and which areas of your mouth may need additional focus at home.
