Our dentist and team perform dental cleanings and exams to keep your teeth protected in between visits. Once we are finished cleaning your teeth, Dr. Ethan Norton will check to see if you have any cavities or other tooth-related concerns before advising treatment. To schedule your dental cleaning and exam in Kernersville, North Carolina, please give Norton Family Dental a call at 336-996-6551.
Dental cleanings and exams are essential preventive treatments that keep your smile healthy and bright. When you visit our office for a checkup, you receive both a professional cleaning and a thorough exam, helping our dentist and team stay ahead of potential dental issues. Regular care not only maintains your oral health but also prevents more serious conditions from developing over time.
During your appointment, our dental team will:
- Carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
- Floss and polish your teeth to improve their appearance and keep your smile fresh.
- Examine your teeth and gums for early signs of decay, gum disease and other concerns.
To ensure we detect any underlying issues, we may also recommend dental X-rays. These images allow us to evaluate parts of your teeth and jaw that are not visible to the naked eye, helping us provide the most comprehensive care possible.
We encourage scheduling a cleaning and exam every six months. This consistent routine allows us to catch potential problems early, making treatment easier and more effective. In some cases, we may recommend more frequent visits based on your oral health needs. If you experience dental pain, injury or an emergency, please contact us right away so we can provide the care you need promptly.
Our goal is to make your visits comfortable and effective, helping you maintain optimal oral health at every stage of life. Whether you are coming in for a routine checkup or need more immediate care, we are committed to supporting your smile. Call us today to schedule your next cleaning and exam. We look forward to seeing you and helping you enjoy a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles.
