Only the most comprehensive and quality dentistry treatments are available at Domenella Dental Care because we are committed to giving patients beautiful smiles they can be proud of for years to come. However, we strongly believe that the best foundation for a stunning smile is a healthy mouth, which is why we take general dentistry very seriously. Dr. David Domenella and Dr. C. Eric Mayer and our knowledgeable staff of dental professionals are dedicated to ensuring that all patients receive the most thorough care available during their twice-yearly dental examination and cleaning.
The Dental Examination
The first part of a general dentist visit is a full mouth X-ray which allows Dr. David Domenella and Dr. C. Eric Mayer to examine the health of your teeth and underlying jaw structure. During your examination, Dr. David Domenella and Dr. C. Eric Mayer or a Domenella Dental Care hygienist will use a small pick and mirror to examine each tooth for cavities, plaque and damage. You will also undergo a gum examination where your gums will be gently probed to detect any signs of gum disease. The final step in your general dentistry visit at Domenella Dental Care is a head and neck examination, which allows Dr. David Domenella and Dr. C. Eric Mayer to inspect for any potential issues with glands or joints, such as TMJ disorder. After your thorough examination, Dr. David Domenella and Dr. C. Eric Mayer will sit down with you to discuss the results of the exam and plan any necessary repairs or treatments.
Thorough Dental Cleaning
The second part of your bi-annual check-up at Domenella Dental Care consists of a complete professional dental cleaning conducted our gentle and caring dental hygienist. While it is recommended for adults to brush their teeth three times a day and floss once daily, the reality is that most people only brush twice daily and floss rarely. Even the most hygiene-dedicated patients who brush and floss regularly will not ever achieve the same results as that of a deep cleaning from our trained dental hygienist. For the best dental health and cavity prevention, it is important to have your teeth professionally cleaned, polished, and treated with fluoride twice a year.
