Routine Dental Care & Maintenance

Routine Cleanings and Examinations

Routine cleanings and examinations are the best defense against dental disease. Dr. Cohen cleans and examines his patients' teeth, affording our patients the utmost time for communication during their hygiene visit. "I like that there is time to converse with patients about their lives, as well as the condition of their mouths during routine dental cleanings," says Dr. Cohen. Dr. Cohen not only checks his patients for dental decay and periodontal (gum) disease, but he also regularly checks for any signs of oral cancer.

Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure in which the hygienist removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. Root surfaces are cleaned and smoothed with specially designed instruments. It is important to remove the plaque and tartar from the pockets, because aside from the bacterial toxins that irritate the gums, plaque and the rough surfaces of tartar make it easier for bacteria to gain a foothold.
