For kids and families across the country, school and college will be starting in the next few weeks. There is still time to start a new school year with a healthy smile. Which is why we recommend a dental checkup. Our Dallas, TX holistic dental office can offer a thorough and accurate dental exam!
Checkups for All Ages
Every six months, we like to see our patients and their families for a dental exam. The checkup is an opportunity to take a close look at the teeth, gums, and oral structures to catch oral health concerns in their earliest stages. We then offer care to treat or manage these issues, keeping your smiles healthy and whole. These should start for kids at around age two. For all ages, we look for cavities, infections, and gingivitis. For adults, we watch for periodontal disease, TMJ disorder, and bruxism, while also screening for oral cancer. For kids, we want to make sure baby teeth fall out and permanent teeth erupt on schedule and without complication.
Advanced Imaging
To make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy, we employ advanced imaging technology. With digital x-rays, we can peer beneath the gums to look at the roots and underlying structures, and to plan treatments like tooth extraction or even dental implant placement with detail. The system uses 90% less radiation than traditional ones, and the images are available instantly chairside, so we can walk you through your diagnosis and you spend less time in the chair. To carefully examine the surfaces of your teeth and gums for signs of decay or disease, we can use intraoral cameras.
Cleaning the Teeth
In addition to an exam and diagnosis, we also want to clean the teeth. When we conduct a dental cleaning, we remove all plaque and tartar from the surfaces of the teeth, a process that reduces the risk of tooth decay, infection, gingivitis, and gum disease. Cleanings also fight bad breath and teeth stains. The process only takes a few minutes, and we then polish the teeth to make it more difficult for plaque and tartar to adhere to them before your next appointment. The polishing process also helps brighten your smile too.
