Regular Dental Teeth Cleanings and Check-ups for Optimum Oral Health
When you visit Cochrane Dental Centre for your Cochrane Teeth Cleanings and Check-ups, our team will clean your teeth above the gum line using a technique called scaling; and below the gum-line, with a technique known as root planing. Our Dental Hygienists are GBT Certified. We also use both traditional hand scalers and our ultrasonic scaling tools to remove calculus from your teeth.
The Cochrane Dental Centre Dental Hygiene Team will also complete the following:
- A comprehensive assessment of your gum tissue, checking for gum recession, the presence of gingivitis and possible gum disease
- Polish your teeth to remove surface stains
- A fluoride treatment to strengthen the enamel surface of the teeth in areas that may be weak
- An examination to check the head, neck and jaw areas for abnormalities
- Oral cancer screening to assess the gum tissues, tongue, and lips for signs of oral cancer
- Digital x-rays (when needed)
- A treatment plan to treat any existing conditions with one of our dental services
Your Teeth Cleanings and Check-ups also include an examination by our Dental Team to evaluate the current health of your teeth, gums, and the surrounding tissue. During your appointment for Cochrane Teeth Cleanings and Check-ups, we always encourage you to ask us questions about your oral health — our dedicated team is always here to answer your questions.
