What You Can Expect During Your Checkup

Even with great brushing and flossing at home, every smile needs a little TLC! Periodic exams and hygiene visits are an essential part of maintaining your oral health. At Mount Vernon Dental Smiles, we provide checkups and cleanings as part of our family preventive dental services. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

Step 1

First, we provide a thorough teeth cleaning! A member of our friendly dental hygiene team will gently polish and remove built-up tartar and plaque from the surfaces of your teeth and all those hard-to-reach-places. Once you’re all done, your teeth will be sparkling clean and fresh!

Step 2

Next, a checkup with your dentist! They will check for any problems that you may not see or feel, look for cavities or any other signs of tooth decay, and inspect your teeth and gums for gingivitis and signs of periodontal disease. This will include X-rays and oral cancer screenings as needed.

Step 3

Based on your dentist’s findings from your oral exam, they will sit down and provide you with a complete update on your overall oral health. Your dentist will also make treatment recommendations to address any issues and get your smile on the right track!

Cleanings

The American Dental Association recommends having your teeth cleaned every six months to achieve and maintain optimal oral health and wellness. If you need additional treatments as recommended by your dentist, our office will help you schedule your next appointment to get your needs addressed in a timely manner.

Yes, generally, preventive care such as checkups and cleanings are covered in full by your dental insurance. Many major insurance plans cover two preventive dental visits per year. While most insured families receive the majority of preventive services for free, we offer many different payment options so uninsured patients can still receive the dental care they need, and in a manner that fits their budget.

Regular preventive visits are the best way to keep your gums healthy and your teeth cavity-free. You can expect to see the dentist every six months so that our dentists can monitor any changes in your oral health and provide prompt treatment recommendations as needed.

Your preventive visit will take about an hour, giving us enough time to take care of you, and giving you enough time to ask any questions you may have about your oral health. Regular exams are offered by appointment only, so please contact our practice today to schedule your next dental exam and teeth cleaning.
