Maintain A Bright And Healthy-Looking Smile With Regular Cleanings & Checkups

Regular dental cleanings and checkups are vital in maintaining a healthy smile at Olde Town Dentistry in Conyers. These routine visits to our dentist help prevent dental issues and provide an opportunity for early detection and intervention.

What is involved in cleanings and checkups?

Our dental hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth and gumline. This process, called scaling and polishing, is essential in preventing gum disease and tooth decay. Additionally, the hygienist will floss and polish your teeth, leaving them feeling fresh and smooth.

After the cleaning, our dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination. This includes checking for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental problems. Digital X-rays may be taken to assess the health of your teeth and underlying bone structure. Our dentist will also evaluate your bite and jaw joint and thoroughly examine your mouth, head, and neck area.

What are the benefits of cleanings and checkups?

Regular cleanings and checkups allow us to catch any potential issues early on. This can prevent the need for extensive dental work and save you from discomfort and high treatment costs. Additionally, removing plaque and tartar through cleanings can help maintain healthy gums and prevent periodontal problems like gum inflammation and tooth loss. Cleanings also eliminate stains and bad breath caused by trapped bacteria and food particles. Our team can provide helpful guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, including personalized brushing and flossing techniques.

How often should I have cleanings and checkups?

Visiting our dentist for a cleaning and checkup every six months is recommended. However, our dentist may suggest more frequent visits if you have specific dental issues or a history of gum disease.
