At the height of the pandemic, many patients understandably put their oral health on the backburner. However, keeping your scheduled teeth cleaning is not only beneficial to your oral health but your overall health. With teeth cleaning in Bellflower, CA, you will find that having a healthy smile can lead to boosted confidence, better health for your body, and help prevent many oral infections in the future. So, what can you expect during your dental cleaning?

Understanding the Procedure

During your teeth cleaning in Bellflower, CA, your dentist will take the proper measurement when it comes to diagnosing the health and condition of your teeth and gums and bones prior to coming up with a treatment plan and a regimen for your cleaning. In addition to studying the X-rays and the level of the bone and tartar buildup, periodontal probing is also done to make sure there has been no attachment loss between the gums and the teeth.

Depending on these findings, proper diagnosis as far as the type of cleaning and the frequency of cleaning are made during the consultation appointment. Since periodontal disease is the number one reason for tooth loss in adults over the age of 30, proper dental cleanings and diagnosis are key in making sure you hold on to your teeth as long as possible.

For many patients, avoiding routine dental care is common.  Fortunately, understanding what to expect during an oral exam and cleaning can help deter any anxiousness.  Before beginning your dental exam, your dental team will walk you through what will happen during your visit and answer any questions you may have about your exam or cleaning.

The Steps

During your oral exam, your dentist will perform a comprehensive head and neck exam which will include an oral cancer screening. The detection of many systemic diseases and oral cancers can be done by your dentist, and early detection is key to a good prognosis when it comes to many diseases. A comprehensive exam is not only limited to the evaluation of your teeth but will also include the remaining oral cavity such as the inside of your cheeks, tongue, TMJ, occlusion, the roof of your mouth, and your gingiva which can all be involved in the presence of many systemic diseases and cancers.

During your dental exam in Bellflower, CA, your dentist will also record your vital signs such as blood pressure to make sure that your overall health is in a good condition. In many occasions, your dental team has diagnosed patients with high blood pressure to refer to their general medical doctor for followups. Many dentists believe to treat oral health we need to treat the entire body first.
