The visit starts with history
Your dental team may ask about tooth sensitivity, gum bleeding, medications, and any recent changes in oral health.
Cleaning and exam
A hygiene visit usually includes plaque removal, polishing, gum assessment, and a dentist review when needed.
Imaging and treatment planning
X-rays or photos may be recommended based on symptoms, history, or time since the last imaging.
Prevention matters
Ask which areas need more attention at home and when your next cleaning should be scheduled.
