Adult prophalaxies are for patients 14+ who have maintained a regular dental hygiene schedule and do not have gum attachment or bone loss.

​

Child prophalaxies are for patients 13 and under to remove plaque and tartar. 

Full mouth debridement (FMD) is a preliminary hygiene procedure to remove plaque and calculus that prevent a full dental hygiene diagnosis. This is commonly used for patients who have not been to a dental office in several years.

This procedure is for patients that have generalized inflammation, periodontal pocketing, tissue attachment loss and/or bone loss.

Radiographs (x-rays) are used for both dental hygiene diagnoses and restorative diagnosis in areas of the mouth that cannot be seen clinically.

Sealants are applied to unrestored molars and/or premolar pits and grooves to help prevent tooth decay.

Cavity risk assessments will be completed to see if the patient would benefit from fluoride varnish applications. This can also be performed on patients with tooth sensitivity.
