What to expect during your appointment

A routine dental exam and cleaning at Park Avenue Dental includes a comprehensive look at your oral health, not just a quick polish.

  • Comprehensive exam – Dr. Mary A. Taudel assesses your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to catch concerns early.
  • Professional cleaning – our hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains to keep your teeth fresh and bright.
  • Digital X-rays, if needed – low-radiation digital imaging checks for cavities and issues that aren’t visible during a visual exam.
  • Personalized guidance – practical advice on brushing, flossing, and maintaining a healthy smile between visits.
