Maintaining optimal oral health is foundational to overall wellbeing, and at Steven L Rattner, DDS, PA & Associates, we prioritize your dental care through thorough dental cleanings and exams. These essential services, provided by our experienced team, are key to preventing dental issues before they become major concerns.
The Importance of Regular Dental Cleanings
Dental cleanings play a critical role in removing plaque, tartar and other buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss. During a cleaning, our hygienists use advanced tools to ensure your teeth are free of debris that could lead to decay or gum disease. This not only helps keep your smile bright but also supports the health of your gums and prevents future dental issues.
Cleanings are more than just routine — they are a chance for our team to connect with you and understand your unique needs. We strive to make every visit comfortable and educational, ensuring you leave with the knowledge needed to maintain your oral health between appointments.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
Dental exams are an opportunity for our team to assess the overall health of your teeth and gums. During an exam, Dr. Steven L. Rattner will conduct a detailed evaluation, looking for signs of cavities, gum disease and other potential concerns. X-rays will also allow us to identify issues that are not visible to the naked eye.
These exams are also a time to discuss any changes in your oral health, such as discomfort or sensitivity, that you may have noticed. By catching problems early, we can address them promptly, often with less invasive and more cost-effective treatments.
