Proactive Oral Health Care for Healthy Teeth and Gums in Orléans
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of prevention as it pertains to regular oral hygiene care. Our dentists and dental hygienists agree that proper dental care has two equally important components: regular visits to your local dental clinic and a thorough daily oral hygiene regimen at home. Both are necessary for beautiful, healthy teeth that are free of cavities, tooth decay, gum infections, and other dental problems.

Oral Hygiene Care Orléans
Professional Teeth Cleanings in Orléans
Since every one of our patients is different, our oral health program must be individually tailored to address each patient’s specific dental needs and circumstances. There is a set protocol in place for the assessment of oral health for each new patient that comes into our family dental clinic. We evaluate, amongst other things, the health of the gums (sensitivity, bleeding, depth of tooth pockets, inflammation, etc.), the state of existing restorations, and the presence of any new tooth decay. Our findings determine the appropriate dental treatment and preventative follow-up care, whether that be a cavity filling, additional dental x-rays, or a restorative dentistry treatment like a root canal or dental implants.

3-MONTH DENTAL APPOINTMENTS
We recommend a three-month interval dental checkup schedule to the vast majority of our patients. Three-month dental appointments are especially necessary for patients who need close supervision after a recent periodontal treatment, and it is also appropriate for patients who currently suffer from mild periodontal disease. Quarterly dental checkups are also ideal for patients who are healthy but feel strongly about gum disease prevention and being proactive with their oral health.
6-MONTH DENTAL APPOINTMENTS
Patients with a long track record of good oral health and good oral hygiene habits can sometimes get by with visits to their family dentist every six months. During bi-annual dental appointments, your dental hygienist will provide a thorough teeth cleaning, where they will brush and floss your teeth as well as remove any tartar that has built up along the gum line. Your Orleans dentist will provide a thorough examination of your teeth and gums every 12 months, and you’ll typically get dental x-rays taken once per year.
9-MONTH DENTAL APPOINTMENTS
In a few rare cases, patients are able to maintain excellent oral health with visits to the dentist only every nine months. Good genetic endowment and a strict oral hygiene regimen at home are required for patients who visit their local dentist every nine months. Nine-month recalls are by no means “a norm” — in fact, they are very much “an exception” for those who have exemplary dental health.
