Regular dental exams are important to clean your teeth and screen for potential oral disease. If you have not received dental x-rays recently, we may recommend taking a new set to examine below the surface. Based on our findings, our dentists and dental hygienists may give you instruction on improving brushing techniques or monitoring areas of concern.
Your dental exam benefits more than just your dental health. When we examine your face, neck, and mouth we are not only looking for potential dental disease, but abnormalities that may indicate other health issues. If there is any concern during our examination, we will discuss receiving further evaluation by your doctor or a specialist.
