Dental Exams & Cleaning

Overview

Dental Exam

Ensuring your optimal oral health involves regular dental exams. At Ray Lawson Dentistry, Dr. Sarbjeet Singh and Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Dentistry, experts in their field, conduct thorough evaluations of your teeth, gums, and overall oral cavity during your dental examination. The key components of this comprehensive dental exam encompass:

  1. Oral Assessment: Our dentists meticulously examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any indications of decay, cavities, gum disease, or other oral health concerns. They also scrutinize the soft tissues of your mouth, such as the tongue, cheeks, and throat, searching for abnormalities or signs of oral cancer.
  2. Dental Radiographs: Utilizing advanced X-ray technology, we can uncover concealed dental issues like tooth decay, impacted teeth, bone loss, or jawbone irregularities. These diagnostic images offer a holistic view of your oral health, facilitating the creation of a precise treatment plan.
  3. Evaluation of Existing Dental Work: Should you possess previous dental restorations, such as fillings, crowns, or implants, our dentists meticulously inspect their condition to ensure their optimal functionality and absence of degradation.
  4. Bite and Jaw Alignment Analysis: We assess your bite and jaw alignment to identify any misaligned teeth (malocclusion) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems. Appropriate bite alignment plays a pivotal role in dental health and overall comfort.
  5. Oral Hygiene Assessment and Guidance: Your oral hygiene practices are evaluated, and our dentists provide recommendations regarding proper brushing, flossing, and overall oral care techniques. Tailored advice, specific dental products, and techniques are suggested to enhance your oral hygiene routine.
Dental Cleaning:

Dental cleaning, referred to as dental prophylaxis, is a professional cleaning procedure executed by our skilled dental hygienists or dentists. The following steps are typically carried out during a dental cleaning session:

  1. Plaque and Tartar Removal: Our hygienists or dentists employ specialized instruments to delicately eliminate plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from your teeth, even reaching areas challenging to access through regular brushing and flossing. This process is termed scaling.
  2. Teeth Polishing: After scaling, our hygienists gently yet effectively polish your teeth with a specialized polishing paste. This procedure eradicates surface stains, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and looking brilliantly shiny.
  3. Flossing and Oral Rinse: Flossing is administered to clear any remaining plaque or debris between your teeth. Additionally, our hygienists might provide an antimicrobial mouth rinse, promoting oral hygiene and imparting a fresh breath sensation.
  4. Fluoride Treatment: In specific instances, a fluoride treatment is administered to reinforce your tooth enamel and offer additional protection against cavities. This proves particularly advantageous for individuals more susceptible to tooth decay.

  2. Preventive Measures in Action: Our dedicated team ensures that dental cleanings are administered to eliminate the buildup of plaque and tartar, effectively diminishing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. These procedures also contribute to sustaining a refreshing breath and a radiant smile.
  3. Guidance in Oral Health: Our dental examinations provide a platform for our experts to educate you on proper oral hygiene practices.
