Dental Check-ups & Hygiene

Are you doing absolutely everything you can to ensure proper dental hygiene?

Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing habitually are an important part of everyday dental care, but maintaining a healthy mouth also requires periodic visits to the dentist. Having your teeth professionally examined and cleaned regularly helps to ensure that dental diseases such as gingivitis and infection are properly diagnosed and treated. Some extensive dental procedures such as root-canal therapy, dental implants, and smile makeovers can often be avoided altogether with regular dental visits.

Maintaining Your Smile With Personalized Hygiene Plans

When you come in for a dental check-up, you will be assessed and given a recall frequency that meets your particular dental health and needs, so you can be sure you’re receiving the attention you need for optimal oral health. We see patients on 3 month, 4 month, 6 month, 9 month, or yearly visits.

Preventative Care at Guelph Southend Dental – Hygiene Sealants, Vizilite Oral Cancer Screenings and More

At our dental office in Guelph, we do everything we can to help maintain the health of your smile and prevent diseases that may compromise your oral health:

Hygiene Sealants

The surface of your teeth aren’t flat, but rather consist of jacked edges and grooves called pits and fissures. One method of preventing cavities and decay from developing in these often hard-to-clean areas is to seal them off with a special sealant.

Similarly for older patients, in an effort to counter receding gums that result from aging and an increase of decay-causing bacteria, we offer Prevora Hygiene Sealants. This clear, anti-bacterial coating applied to the surface of the teeth can help prevent root decay before it starts.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral Cancer screenings are also integral in ensuring lifelong oral health. Oral cancer screenings are included in every new patient examination, and conducted every one and a half years thereafter.

Our dentists in Guelph also offer Vizilite cancer screening technology, the newest tool in the fight against oral disease. We use a dilute acetic acid rinse on the linings of your mouth and cheeks and observe using an advanced chemiluminescent light technology that helps detect oral abnormalities, oral cancers or pre-cancerous lesions.

Our hygienists will council you on the importance of preventive oral care, especially against periodontal disease – one of the most common infections in the mouth, caused by an accumulation of bacteria around the teeth and gums.
