Regular dental cleanings and exams in D'Iberville help us catch and treat problems before they worsen.

Enjoy Good Oral Health

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. With regular checkups, you will gain:

  • 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
  • Healthy dental care habits to create a beautiful smile
  • That "fresh-from-the-dentist" feeling

We also use advanced technology, such as digital X-rays, for you to enjoy hassle-free exams.

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.
