Preventative Cleanings
Routine Care for Your Optimal Oral Health
Our experienced dentists provide quality preventative care as part of our commitment to your overall oral health. To help maintain your healthiest and happiest smile, we recommend that you visit our office twice a year for regular dental exams and dental cleanings in Fort Wayne, IN, and the Roanoke and Huntington, IN, areas.
Protecting Your Smile with Professional Dental Cleanings
Your oral health is a top priority at Legacy Dental. As part of your routine dental exam, our registered dental hygienists perform professional teeth cleanings to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. While daily brushing and flossing are important, professional cleanings help remove buildup that at-home care may miss. With specialized tools and a gentle approach, we help keep your teeth and gums clean, healthy, and protected.
We also polish your teeth during your cleaning to remove minor surface stains and leave your smile looking brighter. Preventive dental cleanings are key to maintaining long-term oral health and lowering the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Enjoy Your 5-Star Dental Exam at Legacy Dental
Once your teeth have been cleaned and polished, our expert dentist will perform a thorough dental exam to ensure that you go home free of any underlying dental concerns. Your exam will address the following:
- Digital X-Rays – If necessary, we will take dental x-rays to find decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. For children, these x-rays help us diagnose developmental problems that can arise with newly erupting teeth.
- Oral Cancer Screening – We check your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
- Gum Health Screening – The gums and bone around your teeth will be examined for any signs of periodontal (gum) disease.
- Check for Tooth Decay – We test the surfaces of all your teeth to ensure that no decay or cavities are forming.
- Examine Existing Restorations – If you already have any fillings, crowns, or other dental restorations, we evaluate each of these to confirm that they are still in strong shape.
After you have a clean bill of dental health, don’t forget to continue your valuable at-home brushing and flossing regimen!
