Painful toothaches, fractured or loose teeth, bleeding gums, and other debilitating oral issues are commonly caused by advancing tooth decay and gum diseases. However, there is a silver lining—these conditions are largely avoidable. Regular hygiene check-ups at our clinic, as recommended by Dr. Jameela Jifri and her team, can help you prevent them.
Partnering with us to curb the onset of dental conditions allows you to steer clear of restorative and corrective dental treatments like fillings or root canals. These procedures are more intrusive, time-consuming, and costlier compared to preserving and improving the health of your teeth and gums. Good oral hygiene contributes to a beautiful smile. Regular check-ups at the office eliminate the causes of problems, including discoloration, which enhances the look of your smile and saves you from the expenses and necessity of cosmetic treatments like professional teeth whitening.

Regardless of specific risk elements for conditions like oral cancer and gum disease, we encourage all patients to schedule regular bi-annual hygiene appointments with us. Each visit includes a comprehensive cleaning by a seasoned dental hygienist, using specialized tools to eliminate surface stains and stubborn tartar that can’t be removed with regular toothbrushes and over-the-counter oral care products. Our dental hygiene team employs the most advanced instruments to measure the spaces between the teeth and gums, known as periodontal pockets. This allows us to evaluate the state and wellness of the gingival tissue, which is vital in protecting your teeth.
Our dental hygienists will discuss these and other possible issues with our professional dental providers, including worn or impaired dental restorations. The final step in our service is polishing your teeth, ensuring a fresh sensation, pleasant breath, and a brilliantly stunning smile.
After your initial dental hygiene work, Dr. Jameela Jifri or a member of her skilled team will discuss any detected issues further after an in-depth check-up. Certain matters within oral health cannot be identified through sight or touch alone. Therefore, our team utilizes advanced technology, including digital imaging, which is safe, efficient, and precise in revealing any “hidden” decay or other potential issues that might go unnoticed. It is worth noting that many oral issues, during their initial stages, do not present any significant symptoms. This emphasizes the importance of keeping up with regular hygiene visits to tackle problems proactively through expert care.
