Oral Exams & New Patient Exams in Barrie

Oral exams are a key component of maintaining your oral health. During an oral examination, your dentist will check your mouth for potential problems, conduct routine procedures like oral cancer screenings, and create a thorough treatment plan. We recommend getting an oral exam at least once per year to ensure the health and functionality of your smile.

What To Expect During Your Oral Exam

During your oral exam, your dentist will perform a thorough assessment of your mouth, teeth, and gums, identifying any issues and creating a treatment plan. X-rays of your mouth will also be taken to give our team an up-to-date look at your overall oral health.

New Patient Exams

If you’re new to our clinic, your first visit will have a few extra steps. During a new patient exam, your dentist will go over your medical and dental history, perform X-rays, and assess the health of your mouth, teeth, and gums. The dentist will then discuss your options and potential treatment plans going forward.

Dental Hygiene Appointments in Barrie

While brushing and flossing at home is a great way to maintain oral health, we recommend attending yearly dental hygiene appointments as well. As tartar builds up on your teeth, it can become difficult to remove on your own. By booking an annual dental hygiene appointment, you’ll ensure that your teeth are clean and free of plaque and tartar.

What to Expect at Your Dental Hygiene Appointment

During a dental hygiene appointment, your dental hygienist will perform several routine procedures, including scaling and polishing. Your dental hygienist may also provide a fluoride treatment, which strengthens your teeth and reduces your risk of cavities.

Maintaining Dental Hygiene at Home

Proper dental hygiene at home is key to maintaining your oral health. We recommend brushing your teeth and tongue twice a day and flossing every night before bed. Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet is another excellent way to keep your teeth in tip-top shape.
