What kind of a 'Cleaning' are you receiving?

Q. Aren't all cleanings that you get at a dentist's office the same?
A. No. Dental Hygienists are trained to perform several different types of gum therapy. At Meadowlands Dental, we pride ourselves at assessing each individual's gum health and making appropriate treatment plans to enhance his or her oral health.

Q. How do I know what kind of cleaning I need?
A. To make the most of your hygiene visit, a comprehensive gum exam is performed to diagnose any gum disease conditions.

Q. What is involved in gum therapy?
A. We comfortably remove all the bacteria above and below the gumline with the most current instruments and techniques, followed by a thorough irrigation of antibacterial agents that will help your gums heal and feel great. We believe that a cleaning should prevent or control gum disease, not just make your teeth feel smoother when we are finished.

Q. What can I do to help?
A. We encourage our clients to become educated about their oral health so we can work together. We have a wonderful preventative dental assistant who can educate you to be your own home care provider. It takes a team effort for the best results.
