Continuing Care Visits: More Than “Just a Cleaning”

In Dr. Ramos’s office, a cleaning is only the tip of the iceberg. A maintenance or Continuing Care visit is as essential to keeping your health as putting oil in your car is essential to keep driving. Our Continuing Care Visits are an important part of this practice. We believe that optimal oral hygiene is essential to prolong the life of your teeth and any dental treatment you have or will have in the future. Our hygienists work together with Dr. Ramos to help you recognize the state of your dental health and help you to discover what best for you.

An appointment with our hygienist for Continuing Care will vary according to your needs and may include the following:

  • Updating your medical history
  • Reviewing your current concerns
  • Taking annual cavity-detecting radiographs (bitewing x-rays)
  • Updating complete series of radiographs (FMX) every 3-5 years
  • Examination of existing restorations and diagnose any new decay or conditions
  • Oral cancer examination including the new enhanced (Vizilite Exam)
