It starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet, and continues in our office with regular exams, cleanings and X-rays. Sealants and fluoride help protect the teeth further.
What your check-up includes
A comprehensive dental exam is performed by your dentist at your first visit. At regular check-ups, your dentist and hygienist will:
- Review your X-raysTo find decay, tumors, cysts and bone loss, and check tooth and root positions.
- Screen for oral cancerChecking the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues and gums. Learn more about oral cancer screening.
- Evaluate your gumsLooking at the gums and bone around the teeth for signs of periodontal disease.
- Check for decayOn every tooth surface, with special dental instruments.
- Look over existing workYour current fillings, crowns and other restorations.
Why it pays to stay on schedule
Many health problems first present themselves to the dentist. Because a cleaning includes a thorough examination of the whole mouth, your dentist can screen for oral cancer, evaluate your risk of gum disease and often spot signs of medical problems like diabetes. Prevention helps you avoid serious, costly dental problems and is the key to a healthy, confident smile.
