Thorough Appointments for Better Oral Health
You can expect a dental cleaning and exam during your regular appointments, but our dentists go even further in protecting your oral health by offering services such as:
X-Rays
Dental X-rays take images of your teeth and jaws so our dentists can detect abnormalities, diagnose cavities and other problems, and monitor changes in your smile. We use an advanced X-ray system and a cone beam scanner for accurate imaging. X-rays are often performed once a year before your regular dental cleaning and exam.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants create a barrier between your teeth and bacteria. Dental sealants are often performed on children who are still learning how to care for their teeth, patients who are prone to cavities, and adults who have deep grooves in their molars that are difficult to clean with at-home care. Dental sealants can last for 10 years and help stave off decay.
Fluoride Treatments
Our Fairfax dentists can provide fluoride treatments to help remineralize enamel and prevent cavities. While you do get fluoride from toothpaste, professional fluoride treatments deliver a higher level of fluoride to better strengthen weakened enamel. A fluoride treatment can be applied after your routine teeth cleaning.
Maintaining Good Oral Health
Twice-yearly teeth cleanings and exams go a long way in preventing oral health concerns like cavities and gum disease, but an at-home dental hygiene routine is paramount to good oral health. In addition to dental checkups, our Fairfax dentists recommend:
Brushing & Flossing
Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day will help remove plaque and keep tartar to a minimum. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste for best results.
Using Mouthwash
Using an alcohol-free mouthwash once or twice a day can help prevent tooth decay and keep bacteria to a minimum. Mouthwash with fluoride can even help remineralize weak spots in your enamel.
Drinking Water
Drinking water with your meals, and swishing water around your mouth after meals helps neutralize acids and remove food debris that gets stuck between teeth. This can help prevent decay and weakened enamel.
FAQ About Teeth Cleaning and Exams
Do I need regular dental cleanings if I brush and floss regularly?
Yes. Professional cleanings supplement your at-home oral care routine. You can’t reach every surface of your teeth with dental floss and a toothbrush, which leads to plaque and tartar buildup. A professional teeth cleaning removes this buildup from all surfaces of your teeth and hard-to-reach places like behind the teeth and along the gumline.
How often should I visit the dentist for my appointments?
Typically, patients should visit their dentist for a routine dental cleaning and exam every six months. If you have gum disease or are prone to gum disease, our Fairfax dentists may recommend you visit our team more frequently. This could be every three to four months.
When should I schedule an appointment for my infant?
Your child should receive their first pediatric dentistry exam and cleaning once their first tooth erupts or by their first birthday. Children who visit the dentist are more likely to develop good oral health habits that they carry with them into adulthood.
Do you perform more than general dentistry?
Yes. At Fairfax Family Dental Care, we provide all the care you’ll need under one roof. In addition to preventative treatment, we offer both restorative and cosmetic procedures to address the functionality and beauty of your smile.
What should I do if I’m having a dental emergency?
Call us. Our Fairfax dentists address all types of dental emergencies and have a 24/7 call center for when they arise. If you’re experiencing severe pain, a chipped or broken tooth, a loose crown or veneer, or a knocked-out tooth, contact our team and we’ll fit you in as soon as possible.
