Why are Dental Exams Important?
Regular dental exams are an essential part of preventive dental care. They help detect any potential oral health issues early on, allowing for prompt treatment and prevention of further complications. Dental exams also provide an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns or questions you may have with our experienced dentist, Dr. Christine Mai.
What to Expect During a Dental Exam
During your dental exam, Dr. Mai will perform a thorough evaluation of your oral health. This includes:
- Visual Examination: Dr. Mai will examine your teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding oral tissues for any signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, or other dental issues.
- X-rays: X-rays may be taken to get a more detailed view of your teeth and underlying structures that are not visible during the visual examination. These X-rays can help identify any hidden dental problems.
- Professional Cleaning: Our dental hygienist will gently remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, leaving them clean and polished.
- Oral Health Education: Dr. Mai will provide valuable tips and recommendations on oral hygiene practices, proper brushing and flossing techniques, and dietary habits for maintaining optimal dental health.
