Regular Dental Hygiene Appointments for Your Oral Health

​

When you visit “Midtown Family Dental” for your “Midtown Family Dental“Dental Hygiene Therapy, our team of dental hygienists will clean your teeth both above the gum line, which is known as scaling and below the gum-line, using a technique called root planing. We use both traditional hand scalers and our ultrasonic scaling tools to remove calcium deposits, called calculus, from your teeth.

In addition to your thorough teeth cleaning above and below the gum-line, your “Midtown Family Dental” Dentist and the Hygienist will complete a number of oral treatments which include:

• A comprehensive periodontal examination, checking for gum recession, the presence of gingivitis and possible gum disease

• Polishing your teeth to remove hard to remove surface stains

• Fluoride treatment which strengthens the enamel in areas that may be weak

• An extra-oral exam at least once a year to check the head, neck and jaw areas for abnormalities

• An oral cancer screening to check the gum tissues, tongue, and lips for signs of oral cancer
