What is in a dental examination?
A dental examination includes:
- Taking your medical and dental history along with any current medications
- Examining your periodontal health for signs of gum disease
- Looking at your bite for any worn teeth, jaw problems or other bite issues
- Checking each tooth’s condition
- Creating a treatment plan for future care, if needed
We also provide general dentistry services, which addresses both preventative and restorative care for you and your family’s smile needs. It encompasses a wide range of services including:
Oral Hygiene Instruction: Proper oral hygiene is the most effective means of preventing dental problems such as cavities and gum disease.
Dental Fillings: A dental filling is used to restore the portion of a tooth that has been damaged by decay. Fillings return both form and function to the afflicted tooth.
Endodontic Therapy: Endodontic therapy, also known as root canal therapy, is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity and repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma.
Pediatric Dentistry: Establishing good oral hygiene habits at a young age is important for empowering your child with a healthy smile as they grow up.
