Will I Need X-Rays?

Dental x-rays are an important part of your dental exam. They help us to detect problems that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Dental x-rays are safe, and the radiation exposure is very low.

You may need dental x-rays if you have not had them in the past year or two. You may also need them if you have a new dental problem, such as a cavity or infection.

If you have any questions about dental x-rays, please call our office.

What Can I Expect During My Dental Exam?

During your dental exam, we will thoroughly check your teeth and gums for any problems. We will also check for signs of tooth decay and gum disease.

If you have any questions during your dental exam we will be more than happy to answer your questions.

Periodontal Screenings

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease to="periodontal services" />, is an infection of the gums. Periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health problems.

During your dental exam, we will check for signs of periodontal disease. We may also need to do a more thorough periodontal screening. This is a painless procedure that measures the depth of the pockets around your teeth.

If you have any questions about periodontal screenings, please call our office.

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer is a serious disease that can be difficult to detect in its early stages. That’s why we recommend that all our patients have an oral cancer screening as part of their regular dental exam.

During your oral cancer screening, we will look for signs of cancerous and precancerous cells in your mouth. We will also feel your neck and jaw for any lumps or abnormal growths.
