Family Dentistry: Hygiene Care

Many people think of a hygiene visit as a simple cleaning, but this initial dental treatment is much more vital than that. Your first hygiene visit will typically take an hour and you will discuss your Indianapolis and Greenwood area family dentistry with Dr. Sammons, himself. We want to hear about your concerns, your past experiences with dental care, and what you want from your dental treatment. Our goal is to make your experience with our office a positive one, one that will leave you smiling both inside and out.

During your first hygiene visit for uncompromised Indianapolis and Greenwood area family dentistry, Dr. Sammons will do a thorough examination and you will get to know each other. An appropriate treatment plan, including the type of cleaning you need, will be discussed between the doctor and you. 80% of adults have some form of periodontal disease and more people lose their teeth because of untreated periodontitis than because of tooth decay. Also, recent medical studies have shown a correlation between gum disease and heart disease.

Our advanced Indianapolis and Greenwood area family dentistry uses digital photos, digital x-rays, and an intra-oral camera to get a comprehensive view of the condition of your teeth and gums. We will also use the Diagnodent, a laser device designed to help detect cavities at a very early stage, even before they may even be detectable by the naked eye or x-rays. (At this stage, these can often simply be restored with a laser and without the use of anesthetic; saving you discomfort, time and money.)

The data we gather from this exam allows us to develop an effective treatment plan for you; showing you what options are available. We will then schedule you for the appropriate cleaning treatment, ensuring a healthy environment for your teeth and gums; the foundation of a beautiful smile!
