What If I Haven’t Had a Dental Cleaning in Years?
In this video, dental hygienist Tauna Abegglen explains what to expect at your first dental visit, from a judgment-free welcome to X-rays and the right type of cleaning for your needs.
When you come to our office, you’ll be welcomed by our staff, and the most important thing to know is that there’s no judgment. We’ve seen it all, and the fact that you made it through the door means you’re already taking the right step. We’re here to help.
At your first visit, we start by taking X-rays so we can diagnose any issues or sources of pain. From there, we’ll determine the type of cleaning you need, whether it’s a routine six-month cleaning (a prophylaxis) or a deeper cleaning if there’s more buildup under the gums.
If you or someone you love is interested in learning more about our general dentistry options, contact Dr. Robert Ellis in Rigby, ID, for a free consultation to learn how our life-changing treatments can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.
