Dental Exams and Cleanings in Burnaby, BC

We are often told as kids how important brushing and flossing is for the health of our teeth, gums, tongue, and mouth. While we do all we can on our own to protect our oral health, it’s important to visit a dentist to get the professional care we need. The most important professional care we can get to ensure we take care of our oral health is regular exams and cleanings.

Vega Dental believes in getting our patients the help they need so that they can have the smile they deserve and a healthy mouth to go along with it. Routine exams and cleanings are the backbone of a healthy mouth and strong, long-lasting teeth.

How Exams and Cleanings Are an Important Part of Oral Health

Why are exams and cleanings so important? The simple answer is because our dentist has the tools and experience to take care of your oral health. Brushing and flossing can only do so much. It’s important to check for potential issues with regular exams, at least twice a year. This can tell you if your children are going to need braces or if cavities are forming and many other potential oral health issues.

While exams are used to detect issues, regular cleanings are there to prevent them. Plaque buildup and bacteria can cause tooth decay and gum disease, which can lead to tooth sensitivity, tooth loss and even infection. A regular cleaning will scrape away all the plaque on the outside of teeth and keep them clean and healthy when brushing simply won’t do the trick. Cleanings should be done at least twice a year, more if directed by our dentist.
