Step Up Your Preventive Dental Care with Regular Exams and Cleanings
Regular dental exams and cleanings in Roseville, California, are an important part of maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. They allow the dentist to detect hidden problems and clean hard-to-reach areas to prevent potential problems. Don’t wait until something hurts before you see a dentist. Be proactive about your oral health and schedule an appointment with Roseville Family Dentistry.
What does a dental exam involve?
Our comprehensive dental check-ups are an opportunity to detect and treat issues before they cause real damage. They are comfortable and non-invasive, but the benefits are long-lasting. While every patient is unique, here is typically what happens during an oral exam.
- Visual examination: Dr. Reddy examines your teeth and gums for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, worn enamel, and failing dental work.
- Oral cancer exam: This quick, comfortable screening helps detect oral cancer when it’s easier and less invasive to treat.
- Bite evaluation: Dr. Reddy examines how your teeth fit together to prevent issues that may cause jaw pain, uneven dental wear, and other issues. We utilize intraoral scanning with Itero and photos to evaluate and educate our patients
- Digital X-rays: Not every dental issue occurs on the surface. Dental X-rays help reveal impacted teeth, bone loss, interdental decay, and other hidden problems. We have a provision to take CBCT, which gives an in-depth look at the bone and any infection at an early stage
Even if your teeth and gums feel fine, it’s important to keep up with oral wellness visits. We help detect problems that may have gone unnoticed at home.
What does dental cleaning involve?
Daily brushing and flossing are crucial, but your at-home dental tools do not reach every area in your mouth. That’s why you need professional cleaning every 4-6 months to remove plaque and tartar from those hard-to-reach areas.
During a cleaning, the dentist or dental hygienist uses gentle but thorough tools to remove unhealthy deposits from every corner of your mouth. Then, we polish your teeth to remove surface stains from tea, soda, wine, and coffee. Once done, your teeth will look brighter and feel smoother.
After a scale and polish, your teeth are at their cleanest, making it an ideal time to consider treatments like dental sealants, fluoride, or teeth whitening. Speak with your dentist to explore the options that best enhance and protect your smile.
What are the benefits of regular dental exams and cleanings?
Regular dental visits leave you with more than just a clean feeling. They protect your smile and overall health. Here is a closer look at the benefits of routine dental check-ups and cleanings.
- Prevention: Stop tooth decay and gum disease by removing plaque and tartar from areas your toothbrush cannot reach.
- Early detection: Dentists detect oral health issues before symptoms occur. Early detection means less costly and invasive treatment.
- Fresher breath: Cleanings remove deep-seated harmful bacteria to ensure lasting fresh breath.
- Save money: Prevention is far more affordable than treating dental issues with fillings, crowns, and root canals.
- Brighter smile: Eliminate coffee, wine, and tobacco stains that dull your smile and confidence.
- Protect your systemic health: Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes by eliminating harmful oral bacteria associated with these conditions
