During your initial visit and at subsequent checkup appointments, we will provide you with a dental cleaning and exam. We believe dental cleanings and exams are essential to maintaining your overall oral health and helping us fully understand your smile so we can plan effective treatments. Dental cleanings and exams encompass multiple measures and treatments that will be performed dutifully by one of our dental hygienists, under the direction of Dr. Laban Bontrager and Dr. Monica Bontrager. During your teeth cleaning in Bristol, Florida, we will:
- Clean each tooth thoroughly and polish it for a natural shine
- Check all teeth and gums for signs of decay or damage
- Examine existing restorations for any needed repairs
- Take a series of dental X-rays (at least once a year)
- Provide fluoride treatment to protect your smile
- Perform an oral cancer screening
- Review your dental history
We are serious about taking care of your smile and will do all we can to help you feel confident in your dental healthcare decisions and building good oral hygiene habits at home. We suggest coming in for a dental cleaning and exam at least once every six months or whenever you begin to experience the signs of decay or disease. If it has been a while since you have visited the dentist, we welcome you to contact us today at Bristol Dental Clinic to schedule an appointment. We look forward to providing dental cleanings and exams for you and your entire family!
