The frequency of dental check-ups depends on your oral health, dental history, cavity risk, gum health, and individual needs. Your dentist can recommend an appropriate recall schedule.
Professional teeth cleaning is a dental procedure that helps remove plaque, calculus, and selected surface stains that may not be completely removed through routine home care.
Scaling helps remove hardened deposits such as calculus from the teeth, while polishing helps remove certain surface stains and smooth the tooth surfaces.
Professional dental cleaning is designed to remove plaque and deposits while maintaining the health of the teeth and gums. The appropriate cleaning method is selected according to the patient's individual oral condition.
Fluoride can help strengthen tooth enamel and support cavity prevention. It may be recommended for patients based on their individual cavity risk and dental needs.
Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to selected grooves and pits of teeth to help reduce the accumulation of plaque and support cavity prevention.
Cavity prevention includes regular brushing, interdental cleaning, appropriate dietary habits, routine dental check-ups, professional cleaning, and preventive treatments such as fluoride or sealants when indicated.
Personalized oral hygiene instructions help patients understand how to clean their teeth and gums effectively and maintain good daily oral care habits.
Preventive care can help identify and manage dental problems earlier. Maintaining good oral hygiene and receiving appropriate preventive care can reduce the risk of some dental problems, although it cannot prevent every dental condition.
You can schedule a dental check-up as part of your regular preventive care or whenever you notice changes such as tooth sensitivity, pain, bleeding gums, plaque buildup, or other oral health concerns.
