Dental Cleanings
During a dental cleaning, our dentist or hygienist at Designer Smiles Family Dentistry will not only remove plaque and tartar buildup but also assess your overall oral health for any potential issues. Common symptoms that may be noticed during a cleaning include gum redness, swelling, or bleeding, which can indicate gum disease or gingivitis. Sensitivity to touch or certain instruments may also be a sign of enamel wear or gum recession. In some cases, if signs of cavities, infection, or more advanced periodontal disease are detected, Dr. Clark may recommend further diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, to evaluate the extent of the issue. Early detection during a routine cleaning is crucial for preventing more serious oral health problems down the line.
