Whether it's your first visit with us or your tenth, our Teeth Cleaning And Checkup process is thorough enough to actually catch problems while they're still small.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Teeth Cleaning And Checkup, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
Gum-pocket depth is measured and recorded at every visit, not just when something already looks wrong.
X-rays are taken on a schedule appropriate to your cavity risk and history, not automatically every single visit.
Catching something unusual early is one of the most important things a routine visit can do.
Your chart tracks pocket depths, staining, and wear patterns over time, not just a single snapshot.
Here's the range of Teeth Cleaning And Checkup our The Hills team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
Plaque and tartar buildup, especially below the gumline, is removed with hand instruments and an ultrasonic scaler. We'll tell you honestly if your interval should be adjusted based on what we're seeing.
Bleeding on probing and gum recession are noted as early indicators of periodontal issues. Deeper pockets may indicate the need for a more thorough deep cleaning.
Frequency is based on your individual cavity risk, not a blanket annual rule. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than older film technology.
A visual and tactile exam of the mouth, tongue, and throat checks for unusual lesions, lumps, or discoloration. Screening is included in every standard checkup, no separate scheduling needed.
A fluoride application strengthens enamel and helps prevent early decay, especially useful for higher-risk patients. We'll recommend it specifically when your risk profile supports it.
This trend tracking catches gradual changes that a single visit alone might miss. Ask to see how your numbers have trended if you're curious.
