Dental Cleanings & Exams
Dr. Martin G. Goebbel, Dr. Benjamin Waites and the team at Southern Boulevard Dental Corporation hope that you are following a good home care regimen. But no matter how well you take care of your smile, you still need to take time to see our dentist for your dental cleanings and exams. If it is time for your checkup, call our office at 505-892-8600 for an appointment with our dentist.
Dental cleanings and exams are key to keeping your mouth and smile healthy and are among the most important preventive treatments our hygienist and team provide. We recommend that you visit our office every six months for a dental cleaning and exam. These regular checkups allow us to monitor your oral health and provide prompt treatment for any problems that may develop. Depending on your individual needs, our dentist may recommend that you visit more frequently.
When you receive a dental cleaning and exam, we will:
Thoroughly clean your teeth to remove any plaque and tartar (calculus) from your tooth surfaces
Floss your teeth to remove plaque from between your teeth
Polish your teeth
Examine your teeth and mouth for signs of decay, gum disease or other dental conditions as well as screening for oral, head and neck cancer
Our team may also take dental X-rays to check for cavities and other problems that are developing or are in areas where we cannot easily see them.
In addition to visiting our practice regularly for preventive care, we welcome you to contact us if you are experiencing pain or have a dental emergency. We try to see emergencies on the same day. Our dentist and team will be happy to help you.
