Cleanings and Checkups

Your daily home care habits are vital to oral health, and our dental hygiene team supports your efforts. Bacterial plaque slowly accumulates and mineralizes into tartar that releases toxins, and these deposits often aggravate gums and contribute to gum disease and cannot be removed by home care techniques. Our hygienists’ role is to remove tartar, polish away stains, and check for inflammation. We also look for unusual signs of wear, tooth erosion, and cavities. If any abnormal lesions are identified in the process, we make a referral to the relevant specialist for evaluation.

We recommend seeing our patients every six months for an exam and cleaning. But your care is always personalized at Kharsa Clinics, so we recommend a strategy that fits you. Our specialists might formulate a different plan depending on the health of your teeth and gums. For example, if you’re focused on controlling gum disease, we may recommend visiting more than every six months.

At Kharsa Clinics, we usually recommend x-rays to check for cavities and bone loss once a year, but we may suggest specific images at other times based on your concerns. We use digital x-ray sensors to capture detailed images of your teeth on a screen with 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays. We usually recommend x-rays to check for cavities and bone loss once a year, but we may suggest specific images at other times based on your concerns. We’ve also incorporated cutting-edge 3D imaging that we can include if we need highly detailed data for better diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
