Process of a Dental Checkup
Initial Assessment: Your visit begins with a review of your dental and medical history, followed by a discussion of any concerns or symptoms. This helps us tailor your care to your specific needs.
Professional Cleaning:Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar using specialized tools, then polishes your teeth to eliminate surface stains and finishes with a complete flossing to reach between the teeth.
Digital X-rays (if needed):
We may take X-rays to detect hidden issues like cavities between teeth, bone loss, or impacted teeth—conditions not visible during a visual exam.
Comprehensive Dental Exam:
Your dentist carefully examines your teeth, gums, tongue, and jaw, checking for signs of decay, gum disease, or abnormalities such as oral cancer.
