Dental Exams and Checkups in Norwalk, California
At Alondra Dental Care, we love making you smile. When you come in for your regular six-month dental cleaning in Norwalk, CA, we’ll check your gums and teeth for any buildup or inflammation. We’ll also remove the plaque and calculus (the hardened form of plaque), as well as polish your pearly whites. You can expect a friendly and caring atmosphere every time you visit us.
Oral hygiene is necessary for eliminating bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria build to form plaque that can harden and lead to long-term ailments, such as gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease, and periodontal disease if it is not removed. A good dental care routine and regular dental cleanings can help you to prevent these issues and maintain a healthy smile.
Dental checkups at Alondra Dental Care give us the opportunity to evaluate your current methods of dental care and to provide suggestions for future care to protect you from complications such as cavities and gum disease. They also allow us to detect problems early so that they can be fixed quickly and easily.
Dental visits should generally take place every six months. We may suggest that you visit more frequently based on factors such as smoking, the frequency of cavities, and genetic susceptibility to tooth and root decay, as well as gum disease. You don’t need to wait for your scheduled appointment, either! Call our Norwalk office anytime you have a dental concern.
At a typical dental cleaning at Alondra Dental Care, our team will provide a thorough examination of your whole mouth. We will check for signs of decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Dr. Abad will recommend X-rays to get a more detailed summary of your oral health and to more closely identify any problems. We will ask you questions about your current methods of dental hygiene and care, such as how often you brush your teeth and floss, as well as whether you use toothpaste with fluoride. With this information in mind, we will demonstrate proper dental care and provide suggestions on how to improve your habits to promote optimal oral health.
The best way to prepare for a dental checkup at Alondra Dental Care is to practice good dental cleaning habits. We recommend brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Be sure to clean your teeth before you arrive at your appointment. Our team will be cleaning your teeth for you, but it is helpful to remove food and plaque beforehand so that we can focus on the more difficult-to-clean areas.
You also want to make sure that you are prepared to share pertinent information, such as your medical history, insurance coverage, and current dental care methods, with us. Don’t be embarrassed to be honest about your oral health habits — our team is not here to judge you but rather to work with you to improve your habits and ensure your dental health! Lastly, be prepared to schedule a follow-up appointment or future visit at the end of your dental checkup.
