Dental Exams and Cleanings FAQ
Even if your teeth feel fine, dental problems often develop without noticeable symptoms. Regular dental exams help us:
- Detect cavities early
- Monitor existing restorations
- Screen for oral cancer
- Check for bite or jaw issues
- Evaluate overall oral health
During your visit, your dentist may:
- Comprehensive Examination — We carefully examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, infection, or other concerns.
- Digital X-Rays — If needed, digital radiographs help detect cavities between teeth, bone loss, or hidden issues beneath the surface.
- Gum Health Evaluation — We assess your gums for inflammation, recession, or signs of periodontal (gum) disease.
- Oral Cancer Screening — We examine your lips, tongue, throat, and surrounding tissues for any abnormal changes.
Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up over time. A professional cleaning helps:
- Remove hardened tartar (calculus)
- Reduce gum inflammation
- Prevent cavities
- Freshen your breath
- Maintain healthy gums
