When was the last time we saw you for a checkup? You and your entire family should have a dental exam every six months to keep your smile strong and to allow us to catch and address problems in the early stages. Our Dallas, TX holistic dental office provides thorough and holistic approaches to preventive checkups and cleanings.
The Dental Exam Process
When you sit down for a dental exam, we will begin by asking you about your oral health routine and any discomfort you may be experiencing in your teeth or gums. We then take a close look at your teeth and gums with advanced imaging technology, including digital x-rays and intraoral cameras. These systems allow us to make a diagnosis with precision and catch problems in the early stages, often before you experience discomfort. We will watch for cavities, infections, gingivitis, and gum disease. Our team can also screen for oral cancer, and look for indicators of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). We then plan treatment in detail so we can help return your smile to optimal oral health, better bite function, and a more attractive appearance. This visit can help smiles of all ages!
The Cleaning Procedure
Along with the exam and planning portion of your visit, we also take a crucial step in safeguarding the health and beauty of your smile. We will remove all plaque and tartar buildup with an ultrasonic scaling device and a manual tool. Removing this harmful buildup, itself a product of factors like poor brushing and flossing habits and a diet high in sugar, helps lower the risk of cavities and periodontal concerns. You also enjoy a brighter smile and better breath too! The process ends with our team polishing the smile, which helps limit the ability for major buildup to occur before your next six-month visit.
Continuing Your Care at Home
Our team is ready to talk to you and your kids about how to brush your teeth properly and floss daily, which can help safeguard your smile and limit buildup severity before we see you next. We can also discuss healthy snack options and other tips for better oral health and brighter smiles. If you have any questions about our approach to preventive dentistry, or if you would like to schedule a checkup and cleaning soon, then contact our team today to learn more.
