Concerned about how your routine checkup will go? Have no fear! At Balanced Dental, we do everything in our power to make sure you are comfortable and aware of all things that are happening during your appointment. In fact, allow us to elaborate further on how your routine checkup will go.
Review History
Before we do any work inside your mouth, our dental hygienist will briefly ask you about your medical history, and if there have been any changes in your health such as pregnancy, new medications, etc. It’s important for our dental team to be aware of any health or medical concerns so we can better treat you and deter any incidents from occurring.
Dental Examination
Preventative dentistry services are not just about fresh, squeaky-clean teeth. Our team will have to probe around your mouth for any potential problem areas. With an angled mirror and probe, we can check for the softening of tooth enamel, see behind your teeth and gums for swollen areas, locate mouth sores, and much more.
Top-of-the-Line Dental Services in Stuart.
When you come to Balanced Dental for a routine checkup or specialized dental service, you can expect state-of-the-art technology, tools, and equipment to be used. Plus, with a soothing and comfortable environment, we are a dental office proven to be family-friendly and extremely convenient — all with the best for your whole health journey in mind.
Teeth Cleaning
After sharing your health concerns with our dental hygienist, we’ll then begin to start working inside your mouth. During the first part of your checkup, you’ll receive a thorough teeth cleaning. During our teeth cleaning services, we scrape off any built-up plaque and tartar that collects above and below the gum line. We’ll also remove pesky food particles that are clinging to your teeth.
Our dental hygienists will then give your teeth a shiny, smooth finish using a tooth polisher that has a spinning head and faintly abrasive paste. This polishing gets rid of any missed residue from your teeth cleaning and makes it more difficult for plaque to collect between dental visits.
Digital Dental X-Rays
At Balanced Dental we utilize modern X-ray technology. While traditional X-rays use film to capture the image, digital dental X-rays use a sensor that’s hooked up to a computer. A thin wire is used to connect the sensor to the computer. The results? More comfortable, fewer potential side effects, and truly, better results! You’ll have the result of your digital dental X-ray in three seconds or so, and the image is often of better quality. Furthermore, it is easier for your dentist to manipulate the images, and this can allow them to get a much better view of your teeth. Also – they are better for the environment!
