Oral Examinations
During your routine oral examination, your dentist checks for signs of tooth decay and other potential oral health issues. Many of these conditions are more treatable in their early stages, so it's important to address them as soon as possible.
Your dentist may use dental technology, such as X-rays, to get a closer look at your tooth roots and jaw bone.
Additionally, your dentist will evaluate the aesthetics of your teeth, checking the spacing of your teeth and your jaw alignment to see if any improvements can be made.
Oral Health Care at Home
To keep your smile healthy between dental appointments, be sure to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time, and floss at least once a day.
Dental Hygiene Cleaning
At Bayside Dental, we believe that every dental cleaning session is essential for maintaining optimal dental health. During a cleaning appointment, a hygienist will remove plaque and tartar and polish your teeth. After this is complete, your dentist will examine your teeth.
Fluoride Treatment
The application of fluoride to teeth is one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride helps strengthen the teeth by counteracting the damaging effects of harmful bacteria that can stick to the tooth enamel.
Education
Bayside Dental Clinic is committed to helping you on the path to good oral health. During each visit, we ensure that each patient receives individualized oral health education. Good knowledge of dental care can empower you to make educated decisions for your oral health.
