What To Expect At Your Preventive Dental Care Appointment

Types of Preventative Dental Services

DENTAL CLEANING

Regular teeth cleanings help get your smile on the right track. We’ll do everything we can to ensure your grin stays healthy and strong while keeping an eye out for any potential problem areas. For most patients, we recommend scheduling routine visits every six months so your dental hygienist can clean away any plaque, bacteria, or minor stains that may have built up since your previous visit.



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!
