A dental checkup should happen every six months, and we recommend one for every member of your family. With a routine dental exam, we can start you on the path to a better smile. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about how we carefully examine your smile with precision!
The Need for a Dental Exam
As we touched on above, we want to see you for a dental exam once every six months. The issues that could threaten the stability of your smile, such as tooth decay and gum disease, don’t form overnight, so a visit every few months is a chance to catch them in the early stages, often before you experience uncomfortable symptoms. We then treat them to manage your oral health and keep your smile intact. Our team also conducts oral cancer screenings for adults, and looks at possible warning signs of issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). For kids, we also make sure baby teeth erupt and fall out on time, so permanent teeth can arrive without complication and the risk of misalignment can be reduced.
Digital X-Rays and More
To make an examination with precision and accuracy, our team will use advanced technology. With digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, we have systems that use 90% less radiation, and provide images instantly chairside, no need to wait for them to develop in harsh chemicals. These high-definition images allow us to make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy, and to also walk you through the process so you better understand the current state of your smile, and the treatments we may recommend to bring relief and keep your smile whole.
What Happens Next?
Following your exam, we will clean your teeth to remove harmful buildup and lower the risk of cavities and gum disease. We then create a treatment plan to address the concerns we uncover, such as a filling for cavities or periodontal cleanings to help manage gum disease. If you have any questions about how our team protects your oral health with a routine checkup, or if you want to schedule one now for you or a member of your family, then contact our team today!
