Your Visit to Monroe Dental Group

The symptoms of some dental conditions can be so subtle that only a qualified dentist can identify them. During your visit, we will examine your mouth and check for signs of tooth decay and other symptoms that could be an indicator of a dental condition. We will also evaluate you during your consultation to assess for risk factors associated with common illnesses like bone loss and periodontal disease. This way, we can identify potential problems in their early stages and provide guidance and treatment if necessary.

Keeping Your Teeth at Their Best

A thorough cleaning is about more than improving the health of your teeth. It’s also about making them look great! We take the time to remove the hard-to-reach plaque meticulously during your cleaning so that you leave our office smiling confidently. We also offer our patients tips on how they can improve their at-home dental care routine and demonstrate the proper procedures for brushing and flossing.

More Than Just a Dental Cleaning

Your biannual visit is a great opportunity to tell your Dr. Klein about any issues or discomfort you have been experiencing. If you are a new patient or have had a change in your health, we encourage you to provide a detailed description of your medical history and come prepared with a list of all medications that you take. Knowing about your medical history allows Dr. Klein to gain a better understanding of your overall health. After all, there is a strong systemic link between the health of your mouth and the prevalence of many serious health concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

I brush and floss every day. Why do I need a cleaning?

Even with excellent hygiene habits, it's easy to miss small areas of your teeth. Over time, missed plaque can harden into tartar, which can only be removed with a dental hygienist's tools. When tartar accumulates beneath the gum line, the result is red, puffy, inflamed gums — the beginnings of periodontal disease. We aim to maintain your oral hygiene before it reaches this stage.

How often should I visit for a dental examination?

We recommend scheduling a dental exam and cleaning every six months. This allows our team to help you maintain optimal oral health and prevent potential issues.

Why do I need X-rays?

X-rays are a dentist's most important diagnostic tool. Often, problems start inside your teeth or beneath the gum line. By the time the problem is visible to the naked eye, it can be painful and more difficult to treat. Using X-rays during routine consultations allows us to catch problems early and treat them quickly.

Are dental cleanings painful?

Dental cleanings are generally not painful. You may experience slight discomfort if you have sensitive gums, but our hygienists take care to make the process as comfortable as possible!

How can I prepare for my dental exam and cleaning?

To prepare for your appointment, brush and floss your teeth thoroughly. Additionally, make a list of questions or concerns you may have about your oral health to discuss with your dentist. This can include any recent changes you have noticed or any pain or discomfort you are experiencing.
