When you initially visit Dr Smile, we provide you with a custom preventative dental care plan based on your current dental health and your medical health. We also consider your age because people have very different oral care needs at different stages of life. A comprehensive dental examination aims to evaluate your gum health, to check for signs of tooth decay, and to make sure any restorations do not require replacement. Also, we check for other signs of oral health problems, and this includes an oral cancer screening.
Based on this information, we recommend how frequently you should see your dentist for checkups and cleanings. Professional dental cleanings are invaluable for keeping gums in great shape and preventing disease. If necessary, we can suggest other treatments to keep your teeth and gums healthy, including topical fluoride treatments and fissure sealants.
