What to Expect During Your Dental Visit After a Long Hiatus
While you should be visiting the dentist twice a year to keep up with your regular dental checkups, we know that life can get in the way from that actually happening. We’re not here to offer any judgment! Of course, we want the best for your oral health, but what’s important to us is that no matter how long it’s been since your last visit, you’re still making the effort to take care of your smile. If it has been quite a while since you last saw a dentist, you may be wondering what to expect when you visit our Oregon and Washington dental locations.
What to Expect from Your Oregon and Washington Dental Team
Maybe you haven’t seen a dentist because you’re self-conscious about your smile. Maybe you haven’t gone because you weren’t sure if the dental issue you were dealing with was able to be fixed at all. Whatever the reason may be, you can expect to have an honest and open discussion with the dental team about your concerns and goals. That way they’ll be able to plan your treatment accordingly and tailor your care appropriately. Our dental offices are committed to using the highest quality procedures and materials. We also strictly adhere to or exceed all standards of safety.
What to Expect During a Thorough Dental Cleaning
We think it’s hard to beat that wonderfully fresh feeling you get after a professional dental cleaning. For those who haven’t had one done in quite some time, it may take a little bit longer than the average. Don’t take this personally! We’re happy that you’re in the chair and we want to make sure we get rid of any plaque and tartar that may have accumulated.
Understanding and Deciding on Treatment Recommendations
Once your dentist has performed their exam, they can give you their recommendations for what you should do next to look after your oral health. Maybe there’s a cavity that could do with a composite filling or maybe you’re all in the clear. Perhaps you need to follow some better techniques for proper brushing and flossing at home. Our goal is to help you take good care of your oral health. If you need additional dental treatment, we’ll get you set up with a follow-up visit.
