Are you seeking an accessible and comprehensive way to maintain optimal oral health? If so, a trip to our Dallas dentist’s office for a dental cleaning, exam, oral cancer screening, or bad breath treatment could be exactly what you need. Dr. Leisa Robothamof Lakewood Dental Studio in Dallas, TX, performs these procedures regularly to keep teeth healthy and ensure nothing is amiss with oral health.
The benefits of dental cleanings are unmatched. Basic dental cleaning can freshen your breath, brighten your smile, and reduce your risk of oral disease.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
The American Cancer Societyestimates that over 54,000 new cases of oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer just this year.
Healthy teeth mean a healthy you! Even if you’re brushing and flossing like clockwork, we recommend regular dental cleanings twice a year. Professional cleanings can make all the difference regarding your oral health. Plus, they may even positively impact your body in other ways. So, schedule an appointment every six months for that extra smile boost!
Overall, teeth cleaning should not hurt. But if it does, please let your dental hygienist know! Discomfort during dental cleanings can signify an underlying health issue.
Diet, dry mouth, and oral diseases are the top causes of bad breath.
