  1. How do Regular Dental Check Up and Clean Promote Oral Health and Overall well-Being? A regular dental check up and clean session are instrumental in keeping gums and teeth healthy. Most dental professionals opine that an expert and detailed examination of dental health every six months is primordial for overall health and wellbeing. What Happens During a Professional Dental Visit? In Cranbourne family dental clinic, a regular visit often comprises two parts – a)checkup, or examination b)cleaning, or oral prophylaxis During a regular specialist checkup, the dental professional often examines for cavities. Sometimes, they take X-rays to detect cavities between the teeth. The examination also often includes tartar and plaque on one’s teeth. Plaque is a clear, sticky layer of bacteria, which, if not removed on time, would harden and become tartar. Regular brushing and flossing are incapable of removing the latter. Plaque and tartar build-up on teeth can cause oral diseases.

  2. Then comes the turn of gums. Specialised equipment is used to measure the space between teeth and gums – the healthier the gums are, the shallower is the space. People with gum diseases often have deeper spaces. Most professionals often include a careful examination of the throat, tongue, head, face and neck. The symptoms of troubles – signs, such as redness, swelling, or possible cancer signs, are determined during such sessions. A dental visit often includes a thorough cleaning of the teeth. Regular brushing and flossing at home usually remove plaque but not tartar. Dental professionals deploy specialised tools to eliminate tartar, the process of which is known as scaling. Post-scaling, professionals often polish the teeth upon request. Ordinarily, a gritty paste is used for this procedure –it effectively removes surface stains on one’s teeth. Thereafter, comes the final step, i.e., flossing. Most specialists use dental floss to ensure that the areas between the teeth are clean. Professional dental cleanings work beyond offering a bright smile. They cast a significant impact on the patients’ general health too. There are numerous medical incidences where inappropriate oral hygiene led to several serious illnesses. Some related dental and medical maladies include – cardiovascular disease, bone loss, cancers, strokes, and many other issues.
