 Dental examinations are check-ups for teeth and gums. These exams are crucial because they help discover gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues early. If these oral disorders are diagnosed early, treatment can begin before the disease worsens. The exams will also assist you in learning about proper dental hygiene practices.
Dental exams are performed by our dentists using a variety of techniques such as physical assessments, radiography, and other diagnostic equipment. Visit Lombard Smiles to schedule an appointment for a dental check-up.
Who Should Get a Dental Exam?
Dental examinations are essential for both adults and children at least twice a year. Gums that are swollen or bleeding require regular dental visits. You should see our dentist at least four times a year if you have gum disease. Periodontitis, a disease that causes a variety of oral diseases and eventually results in tooth loss, can be prevented with regular dental examinations.
As a parent, you need to take your children for their first appointment once they are one year old or six months after receiving their first tooth. Then, every two years or as indicated by their pediatrician, youngsters must get a dental examination. Dental problems in children necessitate more regular visits to our dentist.
Dental Exam Procedure
The dental examination comprises a variety of oral health procedures, such as professional teeth cleaning. Our dentist eliminates all build-up plaque and tartar on your teeth during the deep dental cleaning. Polishing is another activity that involves getting rid of stains from your teeth' surface to make them smoother. Our dentist will then examine your teeth and gums to evaluate if your overall oral health has changed.
If need be, our dentist will take an X-ray to see if there is a chance of developing cavities. Our dentist will look for indicators of disorders in the mouth, such as oral cancer. He will also assess and offer treatment for any oral problems you may have. Besides, you'll have the chance to learn the best oral practices. Our dentist will address any other oral health concerns you may have.
Dental Exam Preparation
A dental exam does not demand any special preparation, more so if you are healthy and do not suffer from any illnesses. Prior to the evaluation, antibiotics are required for those with certain medical issues, such as cardiac difficulties, immune system abnormalities, or recent surgery. As you prepare for your dental exam, speak with our dentist.
Why Do I Need a Dental Exam?
Dental examinations are crucial for good oral health—the examinations aid in developing healthy and strong gums and teeth. Early signs of gum disease and tooth decay can be detected during these screenings, allowing our dentist to propose treatment before the problem worsens.
Eating a nutritious diet and practicing appropriate dental hygiene will keep your mouth healthy. Having your teeth and gums examined by our dentist regularly can guarantee that they stay in good shape and condition.
