What happens during a routine dental exam?
Dr. Bell will inspect your teeth, gums, and jaw for signs of decay or disease. Once a year, we’ll take x-rays to check for internal issues. We’ll also check past dental work and restorations to ensure they’re still in good shape. We’ll discuss our findings with you and schedule any necessary treatments. Afterward, our hygienist will clean and polish your teeth. Professional dental cleanings are more in-depth than brushing and flossing alone, as we use special tools to eliminate all plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially in areas your toothbrush can’t reach.Â
