Exams & Hygiene
Regular check-ups and professional teeth cleaning are the solid foundation of preventive dentistry. Dr. Kelsey Hester recommends a routine visit every 6 months. Our team will closely examine each tooth and the surrounding gum tissue, as well as your jaw and bite. We will perform a thorough oral cancer screening and we will monitor your dental health and spot dental concerns before they become serious problems. Regular professional plaque and tartar removal help make your home care more effective. We gently and thoroughly remove accumulated plaque and tartar that even diligent home care may miss. Plaque contains bacteria that can attack enamel and lead to decay. Build up of tartar can cause swelling and bleeding of the gum tissue that can lead to gingivitis and gum disease. In addition, our hygienists will apply fluoride and sealants on select teeth as a preventive measure for decay by strengthening the tooth enamel.
