The easiest and least expensive dental care is preventive dentistry. It is much more than just good flossing and brushing! Dentistry Today patients receive professional counseling on problematic conditions seen during dental hygiene and teeth cleanings in Huntsville.
Gum disease and/or plaque and tartar buildup can overstress your mouth, your immune system and teeth, so you need to address these problems by visiting the dentist for professional cleanings. Our team is available to discuss various oral concerns, from misaligned teeth, halitosis, athletic mouth guards to teeth whitening and how to prevent plaque from becoming a problem. Contact us today to learn more about our general dentistry services and how to become a patient!
We cannot stress enough to our Huntsville patients the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene and getting professional teeth cleanings. Your twice-yearly professional check-up is a preventive procedure that cleans and polishes the enamel surfaces of your teeth to prevent sticky bacterial plaque from building up.
Regular dental appointments help prevent gingivitis (inflammation and infection of the gums) and promote whiter, healthier and more beautiful teeth. If gum inflammation is a concern, your dentist and hygienist will review your at-home dental care to help you address the issue on a daily basis at home.
At the end of each cleaning, your dentist will evaluate your teeth and provide a cancer screening, looking for early signs of cavities, any troublesome areas in tooth enamel, gums, bone, or any abnormal conditions found in the mouth. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns you have and find out about services that may enhance or improve the appearance of your smile.
Periodically, we take dental X-rays to look for issues below the surface of your teeth and beneath the enamel. Our modern digital X-ray gives us instant detailed images with 60% less radiation than older machines. Your X-rays can be viewed on the big-screen TVs in each treatment room, so you can see what your dentist is viewing as they discuss the recommendations for your dental care.
Our practice also utilizes a tiny digital intra-oral camera to give us detailed, magnified pictures of your teeth to make a more accurate diagnosis and to allow you to see what we see during your exam. Your dentist can view these images with you on our big-screen monitors as they explain their findings. Saved pictures from previous visits can be used to compare and see if a problem is progressing. However, not all early dental problems become something that requires fixing. If you have dental hygiene concerns that you wish to discuss with our Huntsville staff, book your teeth cleaning with us today!
When we find issues that require further attention, these will be discussed with you. Your dentist will explain all your options for treatment, answer your questions, and help you decide your next steps. Once your decision is made, you can book the necessary appointments.
We know many dental insurance plans do not give you full coverage for treatments, or they have a waiting period for specific procedures. Sometimes, waiting until coverage kicks in is possible, but you should discuss this with your dentist before you decide. If money is an issue, we have information on companies that will help you do short-term financing of your treatment cost. It is crucial to treat a dental problem early to prevent it from worsening and requiring more treatment than initially thought. A small investment now can easily beat the cost of a more extensive procedure later.
Keeping your teeth and gums in the best shape possible is essential. This begins with thorough brushing and flossing at home and continues through professional dental cleanings and check-ups by your dentist twice a year.
It is far better to catch something early than to let it fester until it becomes a more significant issue requiring more extensive and more expensive treatment. Keep your mouth healthy and beautiful and keep your dental costs low by booking your appointment with our office today for your dental hygiene and teeth cleaning in our Huntsville office.
