Maintaining excellent oral health for a lifetime is crucial, and one of the best ways to achieve this is through routine dental cleanings and exams. In Billings, Montana, we welcome you to visit Big Sky Family Dental every six months for a comprehensive dental checkup. This essential appointment includes a professional cleaning and evaluation, and while some may consider these services routine, they play a vital role in preventive care. During your visit, our experienced team will perform various procedures aimed at preserving your oral health:
Removal of dental calculus and plaque buildup
Our skilled dental professionals will skillfully remove stubborn plaque and calculus from your teeth. This process helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease, ensuring your oral health remains in top shape.
Application of topical fluoride varnish
To provide added protection against oral decay, we will apply a specialized fluoride varnish. This effective treatment strengthens your teeth and helps ward off potential dental problems, keeping your smile healthy and beautiful.
Detection of periodontal disease and other oral health issues
Our dedicated team will carefully examine your gums, teeth, and oral tissues to identify any signs of periodontal disease or other oral health concerns. Early detection allows for timely intervention and prevents the development of more serious issues.
Thorough cleaning, flossing, and polishing
We understand the significance of a clean and polished smile. That’s why we’ll give your teeth a thorough cleaning, meticulously flossing between each tooth to remove any residual debris. Finally, we’ll polish your teeth, leaving them sparkling and contributing to both their appearance and overall health.
In addition to the visible aspects of your oral health, we employ advanced digital X-ray technology to evaluate the internal condition of your smile. With enhanced magnification and visualization, Dr. David Sterzer can identify any hidden issues that may not be immediately apparent. This allows for prompt and necessary treatment to prevent the progression of decay or disease.
Depending on your specific needs, we may recommend more frequent visits than the standard six-month interval to optimize your oral health. If you’d like to learn more about our general dental procedures or schedule your next visit for routine dental services, we invite you to contact our friendly team. We’re here to address your concerns, provide expert guidance, and help you maintain a healthy and vibrant smile.
