What is a Dental Exam
A dental exam is a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, jaw, and overall oral health performed by one of our experienced Kanata dentists. It goes far beyond a simple visual check; we use the latest diagnostic technology to detect issues early, when they are easiest and least expensive to treat.
During a routine exam at Village Green Dental Care, our dentists will:
- Check for cavities, cracks, and signs of tooth decay
- Examine your gums for signs of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
- Screen for oral cancer
- Assess your bite and jaw alignment
- Review dental X-rays to identify issues not visible to the naked eye
- Evaluate any existing dental work, such as fillings, crowns, or implants
- Discuss your dental history, concerns, and goals
Most exams are paired with a professional cleaning by one of our registered dental hygienists, who will remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing simply cannot reach.
How Often Should You Get a Dental Exam in Kanata
The standard recommendation from the Canadian Dental Association is a dental exam and cleaning every six months. However, your ideal frequency depends on your individual oral health needs. Some patients benefit from visits every three to four months — particularly those managing gum disease, dry mouth, or a higher risk of cavities.
Our Kanata dentists will assess your situation and recommend a schedule that works best for you and your family. Consistent visits mean we can catch small problems before they become bigger, more costly ones.
What to Expect at Your First Dental Exam at Village Green Dental Care
If you are a new patient, your first visit will be slightly longer than a routine follow-up. Here is what to expect:
We understand dental visits can feel daunting for some patients. Our team is known for a friendly, unhurried approach that puts you at ease from the moment you walk in.
Professional Teeth Cleaning in Kanata
A professional dental cleaning, also called a prophylaxis, is typically performed alongside your exam. Our registered dental hygienists take a patient-centered approach, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the process.
Your cleaning appointment includes:
- Scaling: Removal of plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from all tooth surfaces, including below the gumline
- Polishing: Gentle polishing to remove surface stains and leave teeth feeling smooth and clean
- Flossing: Professional flossing to clean between teeth and check gum health
- Fluoride treatment (where recommended): A quick fluoride application to help strengthen enamel and prevent decay
Most cleanings take between 45 and 60 minutes. If it has been a while since your last visit, your hygienist will work at a pace that keeps you comfortable.
