What to Expect During a Dental Exam
We start a dental exam with an overall assessment of your oral health. This comprehensive oral examination includes checking for any signs of tooth decay, potential gum disease, and unintended plaque build-up.
It’s our way to ensure that no stone is left unturned while evaluating the condition of your mouth.
Next come digital x-rays if needed. We use state-of-the-art imaging equipment to get a closer look at your teeth and spot hidden issues like cavities or infections beneath the gum line.
Not only does this help us detect problems early on but also allows us to monitor changes in your oral health over time.
An important part of dental checkups also involves assessing whether you might be at risk from more serious conditions such as oral cancer. Our trained staff performs thorough screening tests so we can address any possible concerns on time and provide proper care accordingly.
The final stage involves professional teeth cleaning and polishing, which helps maintain healthy teeth by preventing plaque formation. You’ll leave our dental office feeling fresh with clean teeth and advice on the best methods for continued oral hygiene until your next scheduled visit.
