Examination and cleaning
Make sure to book a check-up and cleaning every six months for a great smile!
Examination and cleaning
As per the recommendations of the Association of Dentists of Quebec, it is advisable to schedule a dental appointment every six months. This is because your oral health directly affects your overall health, as the bacteria in your mouth can spread throughout your body. Regular visits for exams and cleanings with our team help prevent oral issues or detect them early.
During your cleaning session, our team removes accumulated tartar from your teeth. Then, the dentist conducts an examination of your oral cavity, including checking for signs of oral cancer, evaluating the condition of your teeth, and assessing your overall oral health. During this appointment, it is also recommended to apply a fluoride varnish to your teeth to reduce the risk of cavities formation.
What is the importance of getting a dental cleaning every 6 months?
Prevention of dental plaque: Even with excellent oral hygiene at home, food residues can accumulate and form plaque on the teeth.
Prevention of gum diseases: Gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis are among the leading causes of tooth loss in adults.
Early detection of dental problems: During dental cleaning visits, the oral health professional carefully examines your teeth, gums, and mouth. This allows for the early detection of cavities, dental fractures, infections, and other potential dental issues.
What is fluoride varnish?
Fluoride varnish, also known as fluoride varnish, is a topical treatment used in dentistry to strengthen and protect teeth against dental caries. It is a concentrated form of fluoride that is applied directly to the surface of the teeth, typically by a dentist, dental hygienist, or dental health professional.
