Dental Check Up & Cleanings

At Preston Meadow Family Dentistry, we believe that a comprehensive dental exam and cleaning is the foundation of maintaining excellent oral health. Regular checkups not only keep your teeth clean and bright but also help us detect and address any potential issues early. Dr. Amanda Tran and our team are always wanting to ensure that your smile stays healthy for years to come!

What is a Comprehensive Dental Exam?

A comprehensive dental exam involves a thorough evaluation of your oral health, providing a complete picture of the state of your teeth, gums, and supporting structures. Here’s what you can expect during your exam:

  1. Medical and Dental History Review: We begin by discussing your medical and dental history, including any concerns or symptoms you may have. 
  2. Oral Cancer Screening: We check your mouth, throat, and surrounding tissues for any signs of oral cancer for early detection.
  3. Gum Disease Evaluation: We assess the health of your gums, checking for signs of gum disease (periodontal disease), such as inflammation, bleeding, or recession.
  4. Tooth Decay Detection: Necessary X-rays will be taken to see what’s going on beneath the surface.

Why Regular Dental Exams Are Important

Routine dental exams allow us to catch and treat oral health issues early before they become more serious and costly to address. Conditions such as cavities, gum disease, or even oral cancer may not cause pain or visible symptoms until they’ve progressed. With regular exams, we can:

  • Prevent future dental problems by identifying risk factors.
  • Avoid costly treatments through early detection.
  • Maintain overall health, as oral health is closely connected to systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

Benefits of Regular Cleanings

How Often Should I Get an Exam and Cleaning?

We recommend scheduling a comprehensive dental exam and cleaning every six months. However, patients with certain conditions, such as gum disease may benefit from more frequent visits.
