A Healthier Smile Means a More Confident You
Southridge Dental is pleased to welcome patients of all ages and provide preventive dentistry in the form of regular dental checkups and cleanings in Inver Grove Heights. Recommended not only by Dr. Tandon but by the American Dental Association (ADA) as well, these six-month visits can be the first step in avoiding some of the most common oral health problems, like cavities and gum disease. If you or your child have not seen a dentist in the past six months and are ready to take better care of your smile, call our office today to schedule an appointment.
Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
If you want to minimize the amount of time you spend in the dentist’s office as well as how much you spend on oral healthcare, you will not miss out on your six-month dental checkups and teeth cleanings. These visits are the most effective way to reduce your risk of cavities, tooth decay, gum disease, and other similar dental issues.
Restorative care is readily available at Southridge Dental; however, it is our goal to prevent the need for dental fillings, dental crowns, root canal treatment, and especially tooth extraction.
By maintaining your regular dental checkups and cleanings, you can also expect to save a lot of money. Not only do most insurance companies offer 100% coverage for these preventive visits, but you can avoid spending thousands of dollars on restorative care and the maintenance that is often required.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
A dental checkup at Southridge Dental always includes a thorough examination by both a dental hygienist and Dr. Tandon. We’ll take necessary dental X-rays if required before performing a visual evaluation to check for any signs of tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and bite misalignment.
Our dentist in Inver Grove Heights will then complete her examination after reviewing your dental X-rays. If problem areas are detected, she will build a treatment plan and discuss the proposed method of treatment with you. This eliminates any confusion and possible surprises along the way. It also ensures that you agree with the recommended restorative treatment to improve your oral health and smile.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Our thoroughness doesn’t end with your dental checkup. You can expect us to continue with this same level of care and attention when performing professional teeth cleaning. One of our hygienists will carefully remove all harmful plaque and tartar from your teeth that your toothbrush and dental floss cannot adequately do at home.
We’ll then give your teeth a final polish to ensure they appear shinier and feel healthier by the time you leave our office.
