Oral Examinations

Oral examinations are comprehensive check-ups performed by a dentist to assess the overall health of your teeth, gums, and mouth tissues. During an oral exam, your dentist will look for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues that could affect your oral health. Early detection through these exams can help prevent more serious problems down the road, ensuring that you receive the appropriate care before issues worsen.

Teeth Cleanings

Teeth cleanings are essential to maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing oral health problems like cavities and gum disease. During a professional cleaning, a dental hygienist will remove plaque, tartar, and built-up bacteria from your teeth and gum line that regular brushing and flossing may miss. Cleanings help prevent gum inflammation, tooth decay, and the development of cavities while leaving your teeth feeling fresh and clean.

Dental X-Rays

Dental X-rays are an important diagnostic tool used to detect hidden dental issues that may not be visible during a routine examination. X-rays can reveal cavities between teeth, impacted teeth, bone loss, infections, or abnormalities in the tooth structure. By providing detailed images of the teeth and underlying bone structure, dental X-rays enable dentists to diagnose potential problems early and develop an effective treatment plan to address them.

General dentistry plays a vital role in maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues. With regular check-ups, cleanings, and early diagnostic tools like X-rays, you can keep your smile healthy and avoid complex dental treatments in the future.
