June 22nd, 2008

Brushing and flossing your teeth are important, but you also need to visit your dentist regularly to keep your teeth strong and healthy. That’s because your teeth are not only an important part of your smile, but also help you chew foods like crunchy apples or yummy pizza. Read this article to learn more about what happens at the dentist’s office.

Cleaning and Flossing

One of the first people you’ll meet at the dentist’s office is the dental hygienist. A dental hygienist is a person who knows all about keeping teeth and gums clean and healthy.

The dental hygienist will clean and polish your teeth, using tiny dental tools like a tooth scraper, mirror, and special toothbrush. A bright, overhead light will shine down into your mouth like a giant flashlight so the dental hygienist can get a good look inside your mouth.

Next comes brushing and flossing. The dental hygienist will brush your teeth with a special toothbrush and toothpaste.Then the dental hygienist will floss your teeth,using a piece of waxy string called dental floss to get in between your teeth and remove food particles that your brush can’t reach.

Meeting the Dentist

The dentist will look at all of your teeth and check your gums to make sure they’re strong and healthy. The dentist will also check the way your top and bottom teeth work together.
The dentist will study your X-rays (looking for cavities or other problems) and ask if you have any questions about your teeth. Your dentist may also prescribe fluoride drops or tablets for you to take every day at home.

What Happens If I Have a Cavity?

If you have a cavity, you’ll probably have to come back to the dentist’s office for another visit. At that time, the dentist will remove the decayed part from your tooth with special dental tools,such as dental Handpiece and dental Syringes. Then the decayed area will be filled with materials that will keep your tooth strong and healthy, and you’ll be left with a beautiful smile!
