During your appointment, one of our highly qualified hygienists will do a thorough exam on your mouth. They will check for signs of periodontal disease, cavities or decay, loose teeth, early signs of oral cancer, and general oral health. Once they finish the exam, they will begin the cleaning process. Our hygienist will brush and floss your teeth, polish your teeth, and apply a fluoride treatment if necessary. At Polaris Family Dental, we use cutting-edge technology to make your dental hygiene visits as efficient as possible. We will take x-rays and images to make sure that each area of your mouth is thoroughly inspected. After your cleaning is complete, one of our dentists will come in to do their own brief exam and answer any questions you may have.
