At Dental 2000, our dentist will examine your teeth and gums for signs of damage, decay, or disease. They’ll even screen you for oral cancer. Screening and early detection are crucial to preventing serious problems such as cancer from developing in your gums and mouth. Other issues your dentist might discover include signs of grinding your teeth at night, which can put you at risk for tooth damage and TMJ disorders.
In addition to checking on your oral health, your dentist will clean your teeth to remove any plaque buildup from the surfaces of your teeth. Plaque is hard to remove at home with your regular oral appliances, so it’s essential to see your dentist for regular cleanings.
This visit will typically involve a thorough oral exam, where your dentist will check for signs of tooth decay and gum disease. Your dentist will also naturally clean your teeth at this visit and may take x-rays of your mouth to check for problems you can't see, such as cavities between teeth or under existing fillings.
In addition to checking the health of your gums and teeth, your dentist may also check your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and glands for any irregularities or abnormalities that may need further treatment. They may also check your bite to ensure it is correct for your age and condition. In addition, your dentist may screen you for common symptoms of oral cancer.
Finally, your dentist will provide a thorough cleaning of your teeth. Typically your hygienist will use an ultrasonic scaler. This tool removes tartar, a hard substance that builds up on your teeth over time. Then they’ll floss your teeth and use a special paste to polish them. This will help remove any additional plaque, stains, or leftover food particles from the surfaces of the teeth and help prevent new buildup.
We can check your mouth for potential signs of damage or disease that you may not have noticed yet. This way, we can treat the issue before it gets out of hand and causes discomfort or pain. X-rays and oral cancer screenings can also help us screen for any signs that may require further treatment.
Your hygienist will remove surface stains from your teeth, leaving your smile looking vibrant and beautiful. These cleanings are vital for your regular check-up because they prevent decay and gum disease, two of today's most common dental health concerns. They offer the perfect platform for discussing your oral healthcare needs with your dental team.
Keeping your teeth and gums healthy is essential to maintaining overall health and quality of life. Visit Dental 2000 33 Creek Rd #210-B, Irvine, CA 92604, or call (949) 857-6757 to book an appointment.
