What To Expect At Your Preventive Dental Care Appointment
Professional Cleaning
To start things off, we’ll perform a complete cleaning of your teeth and gums, using special tools to remove any plaque and tartar that may have built up along the gumline. Essential aspects of your cleaning will include thorough flossing between your teeth in all those hard-to-reach places, and scraping off plaque that has accumulated along the gum line. To finish the cleaning process, we’ll polish your teeth, leaving you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and ready to smile.
Any Necessary X-Rays
If you’re new to the office or haven’t had dental x-rays in a while, your dentist may recommend that you take some during your preventive care appointment. Dental x-rays let us see what’s going on beneath the surface of your smile, giving us the ability to find issues that may not be visible otherwise. With x-rays, we’re able to make more accurate diagnoses and create more effective and efficient treatment plans.
Comprehensive Exam
Your dentist will review your x-rays and then take a thorough look at your teeth, gums, and the rest of your mouth. If we spot any issues, we’ll take the time to educate you on our findings, so you can keep your dental health on the right track. We make it our goal to keep you educated about your oral wellbeing, so you can make the right decisions for your smile.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Using the information we’ve gathered with your exam and x-rays, we’ll work together with you to craft a treatment plan customized for your unique oral health needs, budget, and lifestyle. If everything looks good, we’ll simply schedule your next routine cleaning and checkup.
Schedule Follow Up Appointment
Our team is here for you! No matter what kind of treatment you schedule, our team is standing by to answer any questions you may have about insurance, financing, or anything else. We’ll do everything possible to make sure your every visit is straightforward and stress-free.
Types of Preventative Dental Services
ORAL CANCER SCREENINGS
ORAL CANCER SCREENINGS
As a part of every preventive care visit, we’ll perform an oral cancer screening. Catching oral cancer early on gives us a better chance at stopping it before it spreads and can even save your life.
During your exam, your dentist will examine your gums, tongue, and mouth, looking for abnormalities like lesions, lumps, and discolorations. If we discover any oral cancer symptoms, we’ll take a biopsy and send it to a specialist for a comprehensive analysis. Although oral cancer is relatively rare, it’s vital to be diligent about your oral hygiene routine and to regularly visit our office for cleanings and checkups so we can identify any potential problems before they become significant issues.
BAD BREATH TREATMENT
BAD BREATH TREATMENT
Did you know that bad breath can indicate a greater health concern? To keep your mouth healthy, consistently practice good oral hygiene daily and schedule regular dental exams.
However, if this doesn't do the trick, it may require further action from our Dallas dentist. Dr. Robotham will investigate what's causing those nasty smells & come up with tailored halitosis treatments (such as prescriptions, deep dental cleaning, and other bad breath remedies) to get your mouth back on track. Having clean teeth boosts confidence and keeps disease at bay, so don’t slack when looking after them!
