What is oral health?
Routine dental check-ups are central to maintaining good oral health. It’s an opportunity for your dentist to check the condition of your teeth and mouth, and diagnose any pathologies that may be present. In fact, it’s the only way to intercept tooth decay, periodontal disease, defective fillings, mouth lesions, and to be able to treat them quickly enough to prevent further damage to your teeth and mouth.
During this examination, your dentist may also take X-rays in order to get a clearer picture of your current dental situation.
Dental X-rays provide information on :
- Caries between teeth and around fillings;
- Bone loss caused by gum disease;
- Dental and bone anomalies;
- Impacted teeth and wisdom teeth.
Finally, your dentist will take the time to answer all your questions and, if necessary, establish a treatment plan that’s right for you.
Cleaning
The role of the dental hygienist is to clean teeth using instruments to remove plaque and tartar that can build up despite a proper dental routine. Simple brushing is not enough to completely remove these deposits, which can cause problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
Dental cleaning is therefore essential to maintain a clean and healthy mouth, and to prevent periodontal disease. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the professionals at Centre dentaire et d’implantologie LaSalle who will be delighted to help you.
