Dr. Guy Mangia: Comprehensive Dental Examination is a service we provide for all new patients and for our adult patients of record every 2 years. Similar to a complete medical examination with your physician, this examination  process is considered the current Standard of Care with the American Dental Association.  During this examination we are able to document and compare the findings that are significant to your oral health.  Being able to compare these findings at a two year interval allows us to detect changes in your dental health that may be subtle to the human eye, resulting in early detection and correction of oral problems.  Of course, we will continue to provide updated examinations at the time of your  periodontal maintenance visit in between your comprehensive dental evaluations.

I would like to give an overview on the ultrasonic scaling here. To fight periodontal disease, there is a need to reduce plaque, tartar & the number of bacteria in the pockets in your mouth. One device used to remove calculus from teeth is an ultrasonic scaler. It consists of a wand with a small scaling tip that produces a soft ultrasonic vibration. The small, quick vibrations in combination with a water flow give us a whole new level of effectiveness in calculus removal. The benefits of ultrasonic scaling include removing of calculus & reducing the number of harmful bacteria below the gum line. It is an important tool in the prevention & treatment of periodontal disease.

I hope this gives an fair idea about ultrasonic scaling. I would touch upon more details in further blogs.
