- Dental ExaminationWhile bridges can be cleaned just like your own natural teeth, they do need some extra attention to ensure they reach their maximum lifespan. Brush them with care especially around the border of the crown, and use floss to clean between the crowns and the adjacent teeth. Use a floss threader to thread the floss over the pontic so that you can clean this hard-to-reach area thoroughly and remove any plaque and debris that could irritate your gums. Visit our Van Nuys dental bridges expert twice a year for cleanings and exams.
- X-raysThe next time you visit us for a check-up and cleaning, our Van Nuys dental X-rays expert may recommend digital X-rays. Dental X-rays play an important role in keeping your smile healthy. They allow us to see areas of concern that we may not be able to see with the unaided eye. Digital X-rays are an alternative that offers us a different way to examine your teeth, create treatment plans and protect your long-term dental health.
- Teeth CleaningAre dental cleanings really necessary if you brush and floss well at home? Many people who are anxious or uncomfortable during dental appointments may ask themselves this, but the answer is that professional cleanings can be one of the best ways you can prevent dental problems. Our Van Nuys dental cleaning expert often recommends bi-annual cleanings. Some patients may need more frequent professional cleanings, particularly if they are prone to decay or gum disease or if they have diabetes or smoke.
