For smiles that look good and are healthy and functional, you need to maintain good oral health habits. To do so, smiles of all ages need to receive a dental exam and cleaning every six months. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about how we ensure good oral health with a dental exam.
The Dental Exam Process
When you arrive for your dental exam, we will sit you down and talk to you about your oral hygiene habits, and any possible symptoms you have been experiencing. We want to know about any changes to your smile you have noticed. We will then take a close look at the surfaces of your teeth and gums with an intraoral camera, which can gather images quickly and comfortably. We then use digital x-rays to look at the inside of the teeth, and to look at the jawbone and attachment tissues too. This system uses 90% less radiation and images are available instantly chairside.
We then conduct a detailed diagnosis to see what issues need treatment, and walk you through the process so you can better understand the state of your smile.
The Use of Digital Technology
Digital technology means that we can gather images of your smile from multiple angles comfortably, without the need for bitewings and a lengthy development time involving harsh chemicals. Instead, the high-definition images are available right away and instantly viewable on a chairside monitor. These allow us to zoom in on specific parts of your smile for a more accurate diagnosis, and we can easily transmit these to specialists as needed. Digital technology means a shorter exam and more accurate results, so we can help you enjoy better oral health.
Starting Treatment
Our team will then discuss possible treatment options and create a plan to address the concerns we have discussed. We have cleanings and even laser technology to help manage gum disease, and we can treat cavities with lifelike fillings and crowns too. Our team can take on missing teeth with lifelike prosthetics! If you have any questions about how we conduct an exam, or why you need one every six months, then please reach out to our team today to learn more and start the treatment process!
