Preventative care
Taking care of your oral health doesn't just mean dealing with problems when they arise: it also means preventing them through regular visits to your dentist. That's why your dentist in Outremont offers comprehensive and thorough routine examinations, along with gentle and effective cleaning and scaling, to help you maintain the health, the integrity and beauty of your smile.
The routine examination
Our professionals at Dentistes Outremont recommend a follow-up visit every six months or so, for a complete check-up of your oral health. But what is a routine check-up? During the examination, your dentist will check:
- The condition of the surface of your teeth. Are there cavities or other lesions?
- The condition of previous restorations, dentures, and orthodontic appliances, if any. Do they need adjustment?
- The condition of the gums. Are there any signs of inflammation, infection, or bleeding?
- The condition of all soft tissues. Are there any lesions, particularly cancerous or precancerous ones?
- Temporomandibular joint coordination;
- X-rays, if necessary, to get an overall view and better identify potential problems.
The result is a thorough, meticulous examination that can help prevent problems in advance, or act quickly and effectively if an abnormality is detected. By taking a precise yet comprehensive approach, our professionals ensure the best possible diagnosis for your oral health.
Cleaning
This step is carried out with care and rigor by our professionals. Cleaning is essential to dislodge the bacteria, plaque and tartar that accumulate on and between teeth, and which can cause numerous lesions, including periodontal disease. What does the process involve? During your visit, your dental hygienist:
- Scales your teeth using a curette or an ultrasonic device. The operation will precisely rid your mouth of accumulated micro-organisms and toxins;
- Will then proceed to polish your teeth. Your professional will use a small rotating brush and polishing paste. This operation will remove stains and discoloration from the surface of your teeth, while ensuring that the gums adhere better to the roots of your teeth.
