Dental Cleanings & Exams
At Black Diamond Dental in Pagosa Springs, CO, Dr. Justin Nylund and our dedicated team emphasize the importance of maintaining a consistent home care routine. Even with excellent daily oral hygiene, professional dental cleanings and exams remain essential to keeping your smile healthy and bright.
Regular dental visits allow our team to catch potential issues early and provide preventive care that protects your teeth and gums. We generally recommend scheduling a cleaning and exam every six months, though some patients may benefit from more frequent visits based on their individual needs.
During your dental cleaning and exam, our team will:
Carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth
Floss between your teeth to eliminate hidden plaque
Polish your teeth for a smooth, clean finish
Examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, or other dental conditions, including screenings for oral, head, and neck cancers
When needed, we may also take dental X-rays to detect issues that are not visible during a standard exam.
In addition to routine care, we encourage you to reach out immediately if you experience dental pain or an urgent issue. Our team strives to accommodate dental emergencies promptly to provide relief and necessary treatment.
