Dental Hygiene and Exams in Aventura, Hallandale Beach, and Pembroke Pines, FL
At the Centers for Dental Implants, our Dental Hygiene team is second to none. Committed to each patient’s oral health, you can expect your hygienist will take the time to walk you through the entire procedure. A hygiene visit starts with a patient screening and assessment of oral health. The hygienist will then review your overall health history and will perform an oral cancer screening, as well as inspecting your head and neck. Depending on the time since your last visit, X-rays will be taken of your mouth. Once they are developed (a process which takes minutes or less) the hygienist will begin the “hard work” of cleaning your mouth. This involves a combination of scraping hard and soft deposits (calculus and plaque) off all teeth surfaces. High pressure warm water is also used to remove the debris and to clean between teeth. As a final cleaning step, fluorides and other sealants may be used to increase tooth enamel strength.
