Exams & X-Rays

Preventative care is the foundation of dentistry. The American Dental Association recommends visiting your general or family dentist regularly – usually about twice yearly – for full cleanings, examinations, and consultations for potential treatment. Professional dental cleanings help remove built-up plaque that is not removable using conventional brushing and flossing. Often, dentists are also capable of identifying potential problems that patients are not yet able to see or feel.

When you maintain regular preventative dental appointments, you can stave off decay and gum disease, as well as identify the beginnings of oral health problems before they become severe.

Regular Check-Up Exams With Our Dental Professionals Will Include The Following:

• Low Radiation Digital X-rays: Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
• Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, lymph nodes, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
• Gum disease treatment and evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for signs of periodontal disease.
• Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
• Examination of existing restorations: Check previous fillings, crowns, bridges, etc.
