Extensive dental checkup services provide a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. Our experienced dentists take a thorough look at your teeth and gums, and use the latest technology to provide a complete picture of your dental health. Our dental checkup service begins with an oral exam, which provides a visual inspection of your teeth and gums. We then use digital X-ray imaging to look beneath the surface of the gums and look for any signs of decay or disease.
We also provide a detailed evaluation of your bite, jaw, and facial muscles. This includes pressure testing to rule out any jaw pain or discomfort, and to ensure that your bite is even. Our dentists will look for any signs of gum disease, such as bleeding or receding gums, and provide treatments if needed. We also provide an overall assessment of your dental hygiene, and will provide advice and recommendations on how to improve your brushing and flossing habits.
Our extensive dental checkup services also include a polishing procedure to remove any plaque and tartar buildup that may have accumulated over time. This helps keep your teeth and gums healthy and prevents the buildup of bacteria. We also offer fluoride treatments to help protect your teeth against cavities and other dental problems.
Causes
Dental problems in children are primarily caused by plaque buildup from poor oral hygiene and frequent consumption of sugary foods and drinks. Bacteria in the mouth metabolize sugars to produce acid that demineralizes tooth enamel over time. Early childhood caries can also develop from prolonged bottle feeding at night.
Prevention
Schedule comprehensive dental checkups every six months starting from the first tooth eruption or by age one. Establish consistent twice-daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste and limit sugary snacks between meals. Apply dental sealants on permanent molars and maintain regular professional cleanings.
