First, our hygienist will take x-rays of your teeth, which will be used as part of the diagnostic process. The hygienist then works to clean the teeth, removing built-up tartar, stains, and other debris. The teeth are flossed and polished to a high shine. Next, the hygienist will check your gums by measuring the depth of the pockets around each tooth.
This helps us determine if you have gingivitis or gum disease, and we can provide treatment options as needed. Dr. Ghosh will then come into the room for an examination, and to check for cavities, problem restorations, oral cancer, and other issues.
