What Happens During a Dental Exam & Cleaning Session?

When you arrive at our office in Newton, New Jersey, for a dental exam and cleaning, you will receive a warm welcome from our staff and be guided to your appointment with Dr. Best. 

During your dental exam, Dr. Best will conduct a thorough oral assessment to determine the state of your oral health and recommend the best course of action. 

Here are the steps you can expect:

• Dr. Best will use a small circular mirror tool to carefully assess the inner side of your teeth and gums and check for any potential concerns. She will rule out signs of tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other common dental health issues that may arise.
• Next, Dr. Best or one of our dental hygienists, Nicole Caputo or Amanda Chirico, will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing all the plaque and dental calculus deposits from their surface. These are harmful bacterial substances that continue to reside in the corners of your mouth even after you brush and floss.
• For the next step, one of our hygienists will floss your teeth and polish them to add a vibrant touch to your smile.
• Our team will follow up these procedures with a professional fluoride treatment to remineralize your teeth. Remineralization refers to restoring all the minerals your teeth may have lost due to regular brushing and oral health issues. It helps prevent tooth decay.
