Dental Check-Ups

Extensive dental examinations are essential for identifying potential issues that have yet to show any symptoms.

• It is important to get a comprehensive exam during your first appointment with a new dentist, if you haven’t been to the dentist in three or more years, or if you have experienced any significant health issues since your last dental appointment.
• Unlike a general dental examination, comprehensive exams include several steps, designed to identify specific potential issues.

These Include:

• Digital X-Rays
• Gum Disease screening
• Oral Cancer screening
• Oral examination
• Digital X-Rays are used to check for decay, cavities, bone loss and other potential issues.

Routine dental exams are the most efficient way of identifying abnormalities and preventing potential issues from growing.

Identifying and dealing with problems early enough increase the chance of treatment success and can also help patients save money in the long run.

Routine examinations include visual inspections to check and touch:

• Each tooth
• Your gums
• Tongue and cheeks

If there is an obvious cavity or infection, an x-ray is to be taken and your teeth will have any build-up of plaque removed with a hygiene session.

• Detect problems early, when they’re most treatable, and provide tips for caring for your child’s teeth.
• Combined hygiene appointment to clean your child’s teeth and evaluate the risk of tooth decay.

For Children Aged Between 6 Months And 1 Year

• Removal of stains or deposits on teeth by gently scrubbing.
• Assessment of how much fluoride your child is getting through diet and use of oral hygiene products. We may prescribe a fluoride supplement or apply a topical fluoride treatment to your child’s teeth if necessary.
• Identify any sores or bumps on your child’s tongue, inside the cheeks, and on the roof of the mouth while evaluating the impact of habits.
