Professional Cleaning

Dr. Khanani will begin by cleaning your gums and teeth to eliminate tartar and plaque buildup, paying special attention to hard-to-reach areas. The final steps include teeth polishing and fluoride application to leave you with a rejuvenated smile.

X-rays

Following the cleaning, X-rays will be taken to evaluate the internal structure of your teeth, aiding in the early detection of any issues and the development of an effective treatment plan.

Comprehensive Assessment

In addition to X-rays, your dentist will visually examine your mouth, address any visible concerns, and create a customized treatment plan. Patient education will also be provided to empower you to make informed decisions about your oral health.

The frequency of your professional dental cleanings will be determined by various factors. If you maintain good oral hygiene and overall oral health, you may only need to see your dentist every six months. However, if you have gum disease or other conditions, you may require more frequent visits.

Your dentist may suggest more frequent appointments if you are prone to plaque or tartar buildup, have a history of periodontal disease, or have undergone dental treatments like implants, bridges, crowns, or veneers.

For personalized recommendations on the best schedule for your dental cleanings, arrange a consultation with your dentist in Paxton. Dr. Salman Khanani will evaluate your specific needs and offer appropriate guidance.
