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.
Top Reasons for Toothaches
TOOTH DECAY
When tooth decay reaches the inner layers of the tooth, it’s no longer protected by enamel and is exposed to elements that might cause further damage, irritation, or infection.
ABSCESSED TOOTH
Tooth pain is an all-too-common signal of an abscessed tooth. When tooth decay and the infection spreads to the tooth pulp, bacteria can cause inflammation and build-up of pus.
INJURY OR TRAUMA
Sometimes, tooth pain results from an injury that has caused chips, fractures, or even a knocked-out tooth. Prompt attention and emergency dental care are highly recommended to fix this issue before it gets worse.
TEETH GRINDING
When a dental night guard can relieve the pressures of habitual teeth grinding, ignoring this habit can lead to enamel erosion. Over time, this habit can affect deeper levels of the tooth and cause discomfort.
WISDOM TEETH
Do you feel intense pain or pressure near your molars? This can be a sign of those pesky wisdom teeth emerging. Wisdom tooth removal can help you feel relief.
Did You Know…
Tooth pain is your body’s alert system letting you know that something is wrong with your dental health and that you require prompt treatment.

How Can I Stop Tooth Pain Fast?
While it’s best to schedule an emergency dentistry appointment when you feel tooth pain, we encourage you to take over-the-counter pain medications that reduce pain and inflammation until you can meet with a Dallas emergency dentist.
How Can I Tell If My Toothache Is Serious?
Sometimes, tooth pain goes away on its own. Still, don’t wait to feel relief or until the tooth pain is unbearable. If you’re enduring a toothache that’s lingered for two days, accompanied by pain in the jaw or ears or fever, contact us at Lakewood Dental Studio in Dallas immediately.
Did You Know…
Until the 1700s, many believed cavities were caused by “tooth worms.” When these tiny tooth worms burrowed into the tooth, they would cause tooth pain.
