A dental exam is not just limited to when you are having tooth pain or you have damaged a tooth. Regular dental exams and checkups are a very proactive way to prevent avoidable emergencies.

Are You a Candidate for a Dental Exam and Checkup?
Everyone is a candidate for a dental exam and checkup. Every family member, from a small child with baby teeth to a grandparent with dentures, should visit us at 815 Dental Studio every six months. Your child is more susceptible to cavities, and their baby teeth need consistent supervision to make sure they are erupting correctly. Even though your child will eventually lose those baby teeth, the baby teeth play a vital role for their permanent teeth.
As for any adults in your family, consistent preventative dental exams and checkups are healthy habits to establish and maintain. As we all age from a youngster through adulthood to retirement, the risk for oral infection will increase. As the teeth age, the enamel naturally weakens, making it easier to get a cavity. Brushing and flossing twice a day will help keep your mouth healthy, and we compliment your efforts by performing a thorough cleaning and an evaluation for more serious oral issues at each exam.
Deep Teeth Cleaning Information
Sometimes, even when you deliberately brush and floss daily, maintain a healthy diet, and consistently visit 815 Dental Studio twice a year, you might still encounter problems with gum disease. When we detect gum disease at an examination, we will strongly recommend a more thorough teeth cleaning, which adds cleaning below the gum line. This is called a scaling and root planing procedure, or a deep cleaning, and it will remove the plaque and tartar buildup from below your gums which is the source of the inflammation.Â
The Expectations at a Dental Exam and Checkup
During your checkup with your 815 Dental Studio team, we will examine your mouth by using an assortment of small handheld dental instruments and specific tools. These will help us conduct a thorough checkup of your teeth and gums and to perform any additional examinations.
- Tooth decay- We will deliberately check each tooth for plaque buildup, weakening enamel, cracks, or signs of potential decay and cavities.
- Gum disease – We will examine your gums thoroughly for indications of periodontal disease.
- Oral cancer screening- Our conscientious team will gently probe your gums, tongue, cheeks, lips, and throat for signs of cancer or abnormal growths that would need to be investigated further.
- X-rays- These images provide us with valuable documentation on what is going on below the surface of your gums. X-rays show how dense a tooth is, the condition of the roots, and if there are growths, tumors, cysts, or evidence of decay. Once we have established a history of x-rays to compare from visit to visit, we will have more data to monitor and track the progression of your dental health.
- Existing restorations- We will evaluate any fillings, crowns, or other restorations for signs of wear and tear that could result in future issues.
- Education- Our detail-conscious team will review with you new and innovative ways for you to keep your mouth healthy at home, including reviewing brushing and flossing techniques and which areas need more attention. We will add suggestions regarding your diet that might include avoiding sugar, adequate water intake, and certain foods to add to get the nutrients you need to maintain your healthy smile.

We Can Help Keep Your Dental Visits to A Minimum
Avoiding the dentist altogether is unacceptable, but you certainly can keep your visits to a minimum. Brushing at home twice a day, with proper technique, with a fluoride toothpaste and a soft brush, is a good start. Flossing as a part of your daily routine will remove stubborn food particles trapped between your teeth and even loosen any recent plaque. You can add rinsing with a mouthwash or antibacterial rinse to promote gum health. A healthy diet, drinking water, and avoiding high sugar and acidic foods will keep your visits to just your regular exams.
