Importance of Dental Checkups.

As top-tier dental hygienists, we have faith in the effectiveness of teeth cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride in warding off dental diseases. Our emphasis lies in comprehensive dental care exams to assess your teeth, gums, and overall health. At Burtonsville Dental Suite, we care about your smile just as much as your overall health. Here's what you can anticipate from a standard new patient hygiene and cleaning appointment:
  • The dental hygienist will escort you to the examination room and conduct any necessary dental x-rays or photographs.
  • Next, the dental hygienist will carry out a thorough teeth cleaning, polishing, flossing, and fluoride treatment. They will also document the general state of your oral and periodontal (gum) health.
  • The dentist will then have a consultation with you to discuss any potential issues or concerns that either you or the dentist may have.
  • Finally, you will schedule any required treatments or simply book your next semi-annual cleaning appointment.
Anticipate that your initial appointment will last approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. This ensures we don't hurry you or overwhelm you with too much information at once.
