A preventive approach to dental care can help protect your smile from issues that threaten stability, including tooth decay and gum disease. This approach starts with a dental exam every six months. In today’s blog, Delightful Dental Care talks about helping smiles in Kansas City, MO, with a dental exam.
The Dental Exam Process
How do we examine your smile? Our team will use digital technology, which we will discuss further in the next section, to look closely at your smile. We want to assess the state of your oral health and dandify any possible threats to your oral health. From there, we can discuss possible treatment options to restore your smile and prevent major complications. We will also discuss your oral hygiene habits and possible changes to keep your smile strong. The goal is to protect your smile from tooth decay and gum disease! The checkup is crucial for all ages, from kids to adults, and should happen every six months.
The Use of Advanced Technology
To look closely at the surfaces of your smile, we will conduct a visual exam and also use intraoral cameras, which can examine your teeth and gums from multiple angles, and also aid in oral cancer screenings. To peer beneath the gums and into the interior of the teeth, we will use digital x-rays. The digital option means 90% less radiation, no bitewings, and a faster examination process, as the images are instantly transmitted to a chairside monitor, no need to wait for them to develop.
What About a Cleaning?
We also take time to conduct a dental cleaning. With the dental cleaning, we have a way to help protect your smile by removing all plaque and tartar from the surfaces of the smile. Doing so helps lower the risk of cavities and gum disease, as well as teeth stains and bad breath. This is again crucial for all ages, and only takes a few minutes. We then polish the teeth to make it more difficult for plaque and tartar to accumulate before you see us again. The process also brightens your smile.
If you have any questions about how we protect smiles with a routine dental exam every six months, or if you would like to schedule a checkup and cleaning for you and your family, then contact our team today to learn more and start the treatment process! You deserve optimal oral health, and we want to help make it so.
