Teeth Cleanings, Exams, and Dental X-Rays

Professional dental cleanings performed by the Woodyard Dental in Paducah, KY are just as important to your dental health as daily brushing and flossing. Using specialized tools and training, your hygienist at Woodyard Dental Care will:

Remove plaque build-up from the surfaces of teeth.

Bacteria in the mouth form plaque, which collects on teeth and causes decay, gum disease, and gingivitis.

Remove tartar from teeth surfaces.

Tartar, or calculus, is plaque that has become so hardened on the teeth that its removal requires special procedures.

Tartar below the gum line is also an indication of gum disease.

Remove surface stains from teeth through polishing.

Some patients will require a deep dental cleaning due to gum disease and past periodontal treatments. Dr. Jonathan Woodyard will review your past dental history and identify any issues you may need treatment for.

Visual tooth decay evaluation
Gum pocket measurement and tracking
X-ray examination to detect: tooth decay, cysts, tumors, problems below the gums and other hidden issues

WHY PEOPLE LOVE WOODYARD DENTAL CARE

Absolutely wonderful experience. Dr. Woodyard explains everything very well and is a true professional. The whole staff is very accommodating and caring.

Dr. Woodyard has been my general dentist for more than 10 years and he’s always been so concerned and professional. He is up to date on all the newest innovative treatments. He has done several crowns for me and I was able to get it all done in one day since they were made with the latest technology in house by Dr. Woodyard. I would highly recommend him for all dental needs.

Best dentist I've been to! Very professional operation in all respects. Love that Dr. Woodyard does the majority of usual procedures right in house -- including crowns and root canals. Getting a crown in one visit is truly amazing. Mary is a wonderful hygienist with a solid knowledge of her area of expertise. You won't be disappointed!
