What To Expect
Your hygienist removes buildup above and below the gumline, polishes your enamel, and flags anything that needs attention. Dr. Merchant then completes a full exam, teeth, gums, jaw, bite, and an oral cancer screening. Digital X-rays are taken on a schedule based on your individual risk, not a blanket protocol.
