Dental Hygiene + Preventative Care

Dr. Thomason recommends participating in an oral hygiene routine every day and attending regular dental checkups every six months. If you do this, your mouth will be cleaned each day and dental problems will likely be prevented. At every hygiene cleaning appointment Dr. Thomason will perform an examination of diagnostic x-rays, oral cancer screening, gum disease evaluation, examination of tooth decay, and examination of existing restorations. Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and removal of calculus (tartar), removal of plaque, and teeth polishing.
