The Importance of Dental Exams
It’s common for individuals to go months to years not having their teeth checked, whether due to busy schedules, fear of dentists or other factors. However, keeping your teeth clean and in excellent condition is important! After all, poor oral health can lead to many other health concerns. We recommend dental examinations at least twice a year as they are crucial to:
- Early detection of cavities
- Prevention of gum disease
- Potential discovery of oral cancer
- Teaching better oral care
- Thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums
- Monitoring your health overall
What Do We Check?
During a dental examination with Smile Center, we inspect your teeth, gums and mouth for any signs of irritation, decay, plaque buildup, etc. We understand how difficult it can be to keep up with your oral health and stay on top of consistent brushing and flossing. Yet, it’s something we must all attend to. As such, during an examination, our dentists will:
- Evaluate each tooth for signs of cavities or decay that may require treatment.
- Check for signs of gum disease, including inflammation, bleeding, or gum line recession.
- Assess the presence of plaque and tartar that can lead to more severe dental issues if not addressed.
- Provide a thorough examination for unusual lumps, sores, or tissue changes that may indicate oral cancer.
- Evaluate bite and jaw alignment to identify potential problems impacting a patient’s dental health.
- Review the condition of crowns, fillings, and other dental work to ensure they remain intact and functional.
- Perform X-rays of your teeth, depending on the circumstances of your visit.
- Complete your examination with a teeth-cleaning.
