In addition to proper brushing and flossing, effective preventative hygiene also includes avoiding abrasion and using a mouth rinse to ensure your risk of periodontitis and gingivitis is minimized. Visit your downtown Calgary dentist regularly to monitor the health of your mouth and remove harmful plaque and tartar build up as well.

Scaling

Scaling is a major part of every hygiene appointment and allows us to reduce plaque, tartar and bacteria that may reside on your teeth. We employ two methods of scaling on your teeth, one of which is a traditional hand scaling tool. The method used depends on your unique hygiene circumstances.

Oral Cancer Detection

Family doctors don't regularly provide oral cancer exams, but early detection is vitally important in combating the disease. Citations of dental research sources are available upon request, or you may do further research online.

We complete oral cancer screening during your New Patient Comprehensive Evaluation, and additional screening may be pursued as part of your annual hygiene schedule.
