Preventative Maintenance Visit:
We strive to make all appointments here at Cooper Dentistry as relaxed and comfortable as possible, this includes your routine dental exam and prophylaxis.
At your routine cleaning appointment you will be scheduled with one of our highly-skilled and licensed Dental Hygentists, Jodi or Tracy. During a review of your medical history the hygentist will note any changes with your medications, surgical history, and medical allergies. They will offer you a blood pressure reading during this appointment, and may update any necessary x-rays. These x-rays are necessary tools in diagnosing and preventing future dental complications. Technological advancements in materials and instruments have helped to improved patient comfort throughout this appointment. With the use of ultrasonic technology accompanied with hand-scaling, we are able to completely remove the build-up of plaque and tartar. Different polishing techniques are also available that include the regular pumice polish with a rubber cup, or a baking soda spray which is excrementally useful for patients with misaligned dentition and those in orthodontics.
To help you understand your oral health and educate you with existing concerns, we will take the time to explain and show you exactly what we are seeing, by using our Intra-Oral camera and other patient education tools.
By being preventative oriented, we hope to keep treatment to a minimum as well as any discomfort that may arise in the future.
