Dental Checkups & Cleanings In Apex, North Carolina

Your in-home oral hygiene regimen plays a big role in making sure your teeth remain strong and healthy. But regular brushing and flossing can only go so far. There’s always the possibility of undetected oral health care issues. You might also have other dental concerns that require special attention.

Professional dental cleaning gets rid of stubborn stains. It removes cavity-causing bacteria that cause serious dental concerns when left untreated. It also focuses on hard-to-reach areas that everyday brushing might miss. We recommend at least two professional cleanings every year for optimal oral health.

Better Dental understands that many people avoid dental cleanings in fear of the dental chair. To help ease your anxiety, we walk you through the entire process to know exactly what to expect.

1. A physical exam will be conducted to check for signs of infections, gingivitis, and other dental concerns.
2. We will remove plaque and tartar that built up along your gum line and in between your tooth.
3. We’ll use an electric toothbrush to remove any remnants of tartar and plaque.
4. For extra measure, we conduct a thorough flossing session that targets your trouble spots.
5. Once you rinse out your mouth, we will apply a fluoride treatment that protects your teeth from cavities.

Our dentists do everything we can to make you feel at ease. Don’t worry about intrusive prodding and jaw discomfort. We make sure you’re relaxed on our dental chair. You’ll walk out of our clinic feeling satisfied.
