At Quality Dental Care we have a very strong Preventive Focus that stems from our belief that preserving what nature has given you is far better than replacing what nature has given you.
These are generally performed by the Hygienist. The Hygienist will assess your gums and measure the bone levels around the teeth. She will then give you a deep scale and clean and work with you to find out the best way for you to maintain your oral hygiene. Typically the average patient benefits from having a professional scale and clean every 6 months.
Sometimes there is so much tartar on the teeth that it isn’t feasible or comfortable to remove it in one visit. If this is the case the Hygienist will arrange for another appointment with you to finish the job.
The best time for a fluoride treatment is when you have just had a scale and clean. The fluoride is placed on the tooth by the Hygienist and acts to make the tooth stronger and more resistant to decay.
The Hygienist will look at your current cleaning patterns, identify areas (if any) that you are missing with your cleaning, and suggest ways you can improve. There is often no right or wrong way, just what works best for you.
Our friendly staff are happy to discuss your dental needs, treatment required, and estimated fee.
