Visiting your dentist on a regular basis is an important part of maintaining good oral health. At West El Paso Dentist, we take pride in providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for all our patients, so you can rest assured that your dental visit with us will be a pleasant one!
What to expect
At your appointment, you can expect the following:
- A comprehensive examination of your mouth and teeth, including X-rays if necessary. During this part of the visit, we’ll check for signs of cavities, decay, periodontal issues such as gum disease, and other potential problems.
- An evaluation of existing problems and treatments such as fillings/crowns/implants. We’ll also discuss any possible further treatment options that might be suitable depending on your individual needs.
- Cleaning of teeth (also known as ‘scaling’) to remove build-up from plaque and tartar. This helps stop gum disease from progressing further and keeps the gums healthy.
- Flossing and brushing instruction – sometimes it’s difficult to do these correctly on your own, so we’ll show you exactly how to properly brush and floss going forward.
- A discussion about diet recommendations – eating a balanced diet is essential for supporting overall health but also plays an important role in keeping teeth strong and decay-free.
- Recommendations for preventative care such as fluoride treatments or sealants if needed. We may even provide these during the same visit!
- Any other specific queries or questions – please don’t hesitate to ask us anything at all during your visit! We want to make sure you have all the information you need regarding oral health care before leaving our office.
