Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
There’s a common misconception that you only need to visit your dentist if you’re in pain. The reality is that oral cancer, tooth decay, periodontal disease, and several other common problems can develop under the radar for weeks, months, or even years without any symptoms. That’s why it’s so important that you visit us for a dental checkup twice a year!
The professional cleanings we provide are also important because, without them, plaque and tartar can buildup, negatively impacting your oral health. With the tools we have at our office, we can clear away these harmful substances, improving everything from the appearance of your smile to the freshness of your breath.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
As part of a comprehensive dental exam at Premier Dental Care in Oak Hill, you can expect Dr. Bakhtyari to provide the following services:
- An examination of any diagnostic X-rays (as needed). This is essential for the early detection of tooth decay. X-rays also help Dr. Bakhtyari determine tooth and root positions, as well as identify tumors, cysts, and bone loss.
- An oral cancer screening. Dr. Bakhtyari will check areas of your face, neck, lips, gums, tongue, throat, and surrounding tissues for any signs of oral cancer. Personal preventive measures include smoking avoidance, limiting alcohol use, and practicing good oral hygiene.
- A gum disease evaluation, where the gums and bone around your teeth are examined for any signs of periodontal disease.
- An examination for tooth decay, where special instruments are used to check tooth surfaces for signs of decay.
- An examination of any existing fillings, crowns, and tooth restorations.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Your dental cleanings are performed by our talented dental hygienists. First, they will remove plaque and tartar build-up above and below the gum line. Then, they will floss and polish your teeth, removing stains and plaque along the way. Throughout the process, they will share any feedback they have for you – whether it’s paying more attention to your molars or using special oral hygiene products, like a water flosser, to keep your teeth and gums healthy and happy between visits.
