Your First Dental Appointment

Benefits of Regular Dental Care

Making sure that you visit the dentist regularly will have enormous benefits for your oral and general health, including:

• Prevention of periodontal disease: Even if you brush and floss daily, plaque and tartar can build up in the hidden spaces of your teeth and gums. Regularly visiting your family dentist will ensure that your mouth is kept free of bacteria, which causes gum irritation, pain and inflammation.
• Lowers your risk of developing other serious illnesses: Research has indicated that there is a strong link between gum disease and serious chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and pneumonia. Regular visits to the dentist can lower your risk of developing such illnesses and protect your overall well-being.
• Tooth loss prevention: Poor oral hygiene will result in advanced periodontal disease which destroys the supporting bone, allowing bacteria to infect the roots of your teeth and causing tooth loss. Visiting the dentist for regular dental cleanings and dental exams will keep your teeth and gums healthy, dramatically reducing the chances of tooth loss as you age.
• Healthier and whiter smile: Scheduling regular dental cleanings with your family dentist will remove any stains or tooth discoloration caused by certain substances such as tea, coffee, pop, wine and tobacco, leaving you with a fresher, whiter, and healthier smile.

What to Expect On Your First Visit

During your first and subsequent visits to our Calgary dental clinic, we promise to provide a comfortable, friendly, and professional environment for all your dental treatments. Here are the two main things you can expect on your first visit to our family dentist:

1. Dental Checkup/Exam

One of our qualified dental professionals will assess the health of your teeth and gums, checking for signs of gum disease, cavities, or plaque/tartar buildup. This may also include a checkup of your tongue, head, and neck for any signs of trouble, swelling, or cancer. Our family dentist will discuss these findings with you, explain all your treatment options, and help you make the optimal and most comprehensive decision about your oral health.

2. Dental Cleaning

While brushing and flossing at home can clean the plaque from your teeth, it cannot remove tartar buildup. During your dental cleaning, one of our registered dental hygienists will use special dental tools to remove tartar which has formed above and below your gum line. The dental cleaning will also include a polish, leaving you with a brighter and healthier smile.

At Marlborough Dental Centre, great care is taken to make your visit to the dentist as comfortable and easy as possible. Our highly qualified family dentists are professional and gentle, and we pride ourselves on providing an open and informative space for all our patients.
