Dental Exams and X-Rays
Essential for Preventive Care
Dental exams and X-rays are crucial components of comprehensive oral health care. These procedures allow your dental team to identify potential issues early, ensuring that you maintain a healthy smile and prevent more serious problems in the future.
When Are Dental Exams and X-Rays Needed?
Dental exams and X-rays are typically recommended for:
- Routine Check-Ups: Regular exams help monitor your oral health and catch any potential issues before they escalate, typically recommended every six months.
- Identifying Decay: X-rays can reveal cavities and decay that are not visible during a standard exam, allowing for timely intervention.
- Assessing Gum Health: Exams help evaluate the health of your gums, checking for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease.
- Evaluating Oral Structures: X-rays provide detailed images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding tissues, helping to identify issues such as impacted teeth or bone loss.
Comprehensive Assessment
During your dental exam, your dentist will:
- Review Your Medical History: A thorough review of your medical history is conducted, taking note of any existing medical conditions and medications you’ve been prescribed.
- Assess Impact on Dental Health: The dentist will assess how any new medical conditions or medications may affect your dental health, ensuring a holistic approach to your care.
