Dental Checkups Kellyville
A preventative dental routine is essential for lowering your risk of decay, tooth loss and gum disease. The more we learn about periodontal (gum) infections, the stronger relationship we see between your mouth and health issues like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, infertility and respiratory problems. Keeping your smile healthy is beneficial for your overall wellness.
Routine Dental Exams
Most regular exam and hygiene appointments are about an hour long. During your visit, we’ll conduct a comprehensive exam of your teeth, gums, soft tissues (cheeks, tongue, etc.) and screen for oral cancer.
We’ll also take various photographs and a baseline panoramic (full mouth) X-ray of your teeth, jaws and airway. If you have any specific concerns, these images make it easier to discuss our findings in a simpler and straightforward manner.
Should you require any treatment, we’ll talk through which options are available to manage the conditions at hand. As each treatment is presented, we’ll review the pros and cons of each, including the costs involved. You’ll receive a detailed care plan that outlines the subsequent visits required to complete any necessary care.
And of course, we’ll scale, clean and polish your teeth, then follow your visit up with a professional fluoride treatment.
Anxious? We’ll Keep You at Ease!
How Often Should I See a Dentist?
People with healthy teeth and gums should schedule a regular exam and hygiene appointment every six months. If you have gum disease or wear braces, we may need to see you as often as 3-4 times per year. Let us know if you’re exhibiting symptoms of periodontal infection, such as:
- Bleeding gums
- Bad breath
- Tooth mobility
- Receding gumlines
- Heavy tartar buildup
- Gaps between teeth
If you are, you’ll need a more involved deep cleaning to get bacterial levels and inflammation back in check.
