How Important Is Oral Hygiene?

Oral hygiene in Los Angeles is crucial for maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing a host of dental issues. Bacteria in the mouth can accumulate to form plaque, which can harden and lead to gingivitis—a mild form of gum disease—and, if left untreated, periodontal disease. Maintaining a good dental care routine and scheduling regular check-ups with Dr. Ruxandra Costescu at Signature Dental In Beverly Hills can keep your mouth healthy and prevent inflammation, infection, decay, and tooth loss.

How Can You Prepare for a Dental Exam?

To prepare for your Dental Exam in Beverly Hills, we recommend that you: 

  • Practice good dental care by brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day
  • Clean your teeth before your appointment to help the dental team focus on more challenging areas
  • Be ready to share your medical history, insurance information, and current dental care methods with Dr. Costescu
  • Be honest about your oral health habits—our team is here to help, not judge
  • Be prepared to schedule a follow-up appointment or future check-ups

How Often Should You Get a Dental Exam?

It is generally recommended to have a dental exam every six months. However, the frequency of your visits to Signature Dental in Beverly Hills may vary based on individual factors such as smoking habits, a history of cavities, genetic predisposition to tooth decay, and gum disease. Dr. Ruxandra will provide personalized recommendations for your specific needs in a consultation. 

What Can I Expect From a Dental Exam?

During a typical dental exam at our Beverly Hills office, our team will:

  • Thoroughly clean your teeth, removing surface stains and deposits like tartar (calculus) that cannot be removed by regular brushing
  • Check for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues
  • Possibly perform an X-ray to get a detailed view of your oral health and identify any hidden problems
  • Ask about your current dental care routine, including how often you brush and floss and if you use fluoride toothpaste
  • Demonstrate proper dental care techniques and provide suggestions to improve your oral hygiene habits
