Maintain Your Best Smile With Dental Cleanings & Exams in D’Iberville

Your smile will suffer from neglect just like any other part of your body will. It requires routine care to stay healthy and bright. You also want to avoid dental emergencies that can be both painful and costly. That’s why the American Dental Association recommends visiting the dentist every six months for a routine checkup. Regular visits help us catch and treat problems before they worsen. Other benefits of our D’Iberville dental cleanings and exams are:

  • Peace of mind about your oral health
  • Confidence to smile boldly in public
  • Better first impressions when socializing
  • Fewer problems like cavities and gum disease

If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while, don’t worry. We won’t judge you on the condition of your teeth! We just want you to have the best smile possible. Call Back Bay Family Dentistry today to schedule an appointment: 228-220-2117.

Cleanings & Exams Help Keep Your Smile Beautiful

When you see someone with a radiant smile, it probably didn’t get that way by accident. Most likely, they practice good oral hygiene at home and visit their dentist regularly for checkups. This keeps their smile healthy and helps them avoid problems. The same will be true for you, too. Visit us twice a year so you can enjoy all the benefits of a healthy smile.

When you come in for your cleaning and exam, here’s what we’ll do:

  • If needed, we can apply an anesthetic to ease your discomfort. We also offer laughing gas and oral sedation if you’re nervous.
  • Your dental hygienist will take panoramic X-rays for an up-close look at your teeth, roots, and bones.
  • We’ll take a dental and medical history, to better understand your oral health.
  • You’ll get a complete dental exam, including an oral cancer screening.
  • We’ll clean your teeth with an ultrasonic cleaner, making sure to reach places you might miss at home.
  • Your dentist may suggest treatments to keep your smile healthier, such as fluoride treatments or dental sealants.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

How soon after my cleaning can I eat?

It all depends on the type of treatment you receive during your appointment. If our dental team has applied fluoride treatments to your teeth, you’ll want to wait at least 30 minutes before you eat. Otherwise, there’s no reason to wait at all! However, some people prefer to wait awhile since their teeth and gums may feel a bit sensitive after their cleaning.

Why should I get a dental exam if I’m not in pain?

If you wait until you are in pain, you already have a serious problem. On top of that, not all dental issues cause pain. By getting regular exams, you benefit from having dental professionals look at your mouth. We can identify potential concerns and catch them in the early stages. That allows us to fix them before you need more expensive and invasive treatments.

How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

In general, most patients should schedule a dental cleaning and exam twice a year. Doing so allows us to keep a close eye on your oral health and monitor any developing issues. If we discover a situation that needs attention, we can treat it early before it worsens and has the chance to damage your smile.
