Check Ups and Cleaning at 82 Dental
At 82nd Dental, we believe preventive dentistry procedures, including regular dental check-ups and teeth cleanings are vitally important for our patients, of all ages, to maintain prime oral health.
Through routine dental checks, we are able to detect and manage dental diseases at the early onset, thereby thwarting minor issues from developing into major, more complex problems. Furthermore, professional teeth cleaning promotes solid dental hygiene, contributing to an attractive and robust smile.

What Does a Dental Hygiene Appointment Look Like?
During this session, either our dentist or dental hygienist will conduct a comprehensive dental assessment, followed by teeth cleaning. These procedures are preventive measures aimed at helping you secure and uphold optimal oral health. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect:
Assessment / X-rays
Initially, your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your mouth, including your teeth, gums, tongue, jaws, and bite. X-rays are recommended periodically, based on your oral health history, as they offer a look at what is happening between and inside your teeth, and your jaw structures.
Scaling
Subsequently, a dental hygienist will carry out teeth scaling using a high-frequency, ultrasonic scaler. The scaler is vibrated against all surfaces of the teeth and underneath the gums, effectively removing plaque, tartar, heavy surface stains, and hard deposits. The scaling process only eliminates irritants, ensuring that your tooth enamel remains unaffected and healthy.

Polishing
Your teeth are then buffed and polished using a rubber cup and special polishing paste. This step removes any remaining stains and smooths all teeth surfaces, making them gleam and sparkle.
Pocket Depth Measurements
Using a gentle dental instrument, your dentist or hygienist will measure the depth of your gum pockets – the area where your teeth and gums meet. These pocket depths are measured each hygiene visit and your dentist will watch for changes. Any deviation from the normal pocket depth could signal the early stages of gum or periodontal disease. If detected, immediate dental intervention is necessary to avert irreversible damage.
Why is Regular Dental Hygiene Necessary?
Hygiene maintenance appointments, which include dental examinations and periodic X-rays, play an integral role in maintaining your oral health. We carefully keep these records for reference during subsequent visits. Each time we conduct your hygiene care, we thoroughly review these records and compare them with your present dental condition. This enables us to promptly spot emerging issues. Therefore, if you make it a habit to visit 82nd Dental for your regular hygiene procedures, we can help prevent dental diseases and keep your oral health at its peak.
