06 Jun What should I expect at my cleaning and dental examination?

Your cleaning will consist of a visual examination of your teeth and gums. You may also need X-rays for a more comprehensive view of your teeth and bone. The dental hygienist will record your oral health status and any problems that you may have. Special instruments will be used to remove hardened plaque from your teeth. Your teeth will then be polished and fluoride applied for one minute.
