regular dental visit?
Dental experts at Jersey Shore, West
long branch, classify a regular dental
visit into two parts. The first is the
check up and the other is cleaning.

3. Check-Up

4. During the check up a dental
specialist will look for probable
cavities or if you have any plaque
or tartar on the teeth.
Plaque is a sticky layer of bacteria that forms on
your teeth. If not removed on time, plaque
collects on the tooth and eventually becomes
tartar. Tartar is is hard to remove and it won’t
go with regular brushing. The buildup of plaque
and tartar leads to oral diseases.
After checking for plague and/or tartar, the
doctor will proceed to check your gums. Gums
are checked using a special tool. The doctor
uses it to measure the spaces between gums
and teeth.
Shallow spaces reflect healthy gums. Gum
spaces are deeper in people suffering from gum
diseases.

5. Cleaning

6. ●While it is advised to brush and floss your teeth twice a day to avoid
plaque, regular visits to the dentist’s office will promote oral health. Tartar
build up is one oral problem that needs specialist’s attention. Tartar is hard
and it can’t be removed at home.
●
●Dental professionals use special tools to clean your teeth and remove
tartar. The process is called scaling. Scaling may be followed by polishing.
Doctors may use a gritty paste to remove possible surface stains on teeth.
●
●The last step of cleaning is flossing. The dental specialist will now use
floss to clean in between you teeth. This is done to make sure that the
spaces between teeth are clean.

7. Brushing, flossing and rinsing are the three
most important steps to achieve good oral
care at home. Other healthy habits include:
●Avoid tobacco
●Limit beverages like coffee, soda and
alcohol
●Teeth need calcium and vitamins.
Consume calcium rich food.
Going to a dental doctor is important
but just that is not enough. You have
to take proper care to avoid oral
problems.
Make sure that you take proper care
of your teeth and gums. Understand
that plaque keeps forming from time
to time. It can be cleared with
regular brushing and flossing.
