Hygiene
Regular dental examinations and cleanings can help protect you from oral diseases
Cleaning And Exams
Do I still have to go for my bi-annual dental appointment even if I don’t experience any pain or other symptoms?
The short answer is YES!
Regular oral examinations and preventative measures are deemed necessary for maintaining good oral hygiene and reducing the risks for various oral diseases.
Medical History And Examination
You can use your routine checkups to inform us about any symptoms or findings you come across in your oral cavity. For a better understanding of your symptoms, you must provide us with a detailed medical history yours to help connect any dots between your oral issues and overall systemic health. Somebody who is diabetic would be more susceptible to periodontal diseases.
Providing your complete drug history is also important as certain oral findings are a result of certain drugs that have been prescribed to you, such as Phenytoin. This is a drug that is known to cause gingival hyperplasia (overgrowth) in patients.
Your Visit
- A thorough examination of your mouth is conducted to detect any changes in your teeth and oral tissues.
- Using radiographs to evaluate and verify clinical findings.
- Address any oral conditions due to systemic illnesses or drugs
- Discussion of your proposed treatment plan
Teeth Cleaning
Our highly qualified and trained dental staff will remove calcified plaque deposits from your gum margins, ensuring that you stay comfortable throughout the procedure. They will also discuss some oral hygiene instructions with you that you can practice as a part of your at-home care routines, such as the proper brushing and flossing techniques.
A perfect smile does not only make you feel good about yourself, it even helps to boost up your confidence. Regular cleanings are not just for making your smiles better, but also help in the early diagnosis of oral diseases.
