Routine Dental Checkup

Teeth cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are integral in preventing dental disease. Our focus is on thorough dental care exams that cover checking your teeth, gums, and overall health. Expert dental hygienists are core to our plan to ensure you always receive the quality of care you deserve. At Westgrove Dental Care, we are just as concerned about your smile and your confidence as we are about your well-being and overall oral health. You can expect a typical new patient hygiene and cleaning appointment to entail:

• Your dental hygienist will take you to the exam room and will take any dental X-rays or photos that are required.

• Then your dental hygienist will perform a teeth cleaning, polish, floss, and fluoride. Your hygienist will also record overall oral conditions relating to your teeth and gum health.

• The doctor will meet with you and discuss any areas of concern that we may want to address or that you raised during your appointment.

• Schedule any needed treatment or simply your next 6-month cleaning appointment.

You can expect this first appointment to take between 1 hour and 1.5 hours so that we take our time to properly examine and clean your teeth.
