Preventative Care for a Lifelong Smile
A bright, healthy smile starts with strong foundations. At Canary Dental Clinic in Surrey, we believe that preventative care is the most important service we offer. Routine dental cleanings and comprehensive exams not only keep your teeth looking great but also prevent costly and painful dental emergencies in the future.
What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning
Our skilled hygienists use a gentle touch to ensure your visit is completely comfortable, even if it has been a long time since your last visit.
- Scaling and Root Planing: We carefully remove plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from above and below the gumline to prevent periodontal (gum) disease.
- Polishing: We gently polish your teeth to remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, and daily life, leaving your teeth feeling incredibly smooth.
- Fluoride Treatment: A preventative fluoride application to strengthen your enamel and make your teeth more resistant to cavities.
The Comprehensive Dental Exam
After your teeth are sparkling clean, one of our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination. We use low-radiation digital X-rays to look for hidden cavities, assess bone health, and check for any signs of early oral cancer.
Who Should Get a Dental Cleaning?
Everyone! The Canadian Dental Association recommends visiting the dentist at least twice a year. Whether you are an adult looking for a routine check-up, a parent bringing in your child, or a senior utilizing the CDCP, preventative care is essential.
