Your Etobicoke Invisalign® Provider
Routine oral examinations and hygiene cleanings at Cloverdale Dental in Etobicoke can help you prevent any dental issues and keep your smile healthy.
Oral Examinations in Etobicoke
Ideally twice a year, you'll visit your dentist to give them the opportunity to identify any oral health issues that may be emerging and create a plan to treat them accordingly.
During your exam, your dentist will check the health of your teeth, jaw, bite and gums. Exams may also encompass dental x-rays, oral cancer screening and other diagnostic procedures.
Oral Cancer Screening in Etobicoke
Oral cancer can impact any part of your mouth or surrounding tissues. Oral cancer screening is an important part of a dental exam. Your dentist will check your face, tongue, lips, neck, tissues, throat and gums for any signs or symptoms of oral cancer, which can be difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Oral Health Care at Home
Keep your smile healthy between dental appointments. Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time, and floss at least once per day.
Hygiene Cleaning in Etobicoke
To start your cleaning, your dental hygienist will remove any plaque buildup or tartar with a scaler, then use a polisher topped with coarse toothpaste to remove any remaining stains or plaque. This will be followed by flossing of your teeth and gums.
Fluoride Treatment in Etobicoke
Your dentist may also recommend a fluoride treatment if you or your child are identified as being at high risk for tooth decay. Fluoride is a natural mineral that can help to rebuild minerals in your tooth enamel to prevent or reverse tooth decay.
Sealants
Our team in Etobicoke can also apply a dental sealant to protect the chewing surfaces of your back teeth (usually the molars and premolars) to help prevent tooth decay. These areas have grooves and pits that can be hard to clean with a toothbrush, making them more vulnerable to cavities.
