DENTAL CHECK UP

At Miracle Smile Dentistry, our dental check-ups are designed for helping our patients maintain good oral health for a lifetime.

Visiting your dentist for a checkup and cleaning every 6 months is one of the best ways to prevent future dental problems. Regular checkups allow your dentist to detect any potential issues early and provide treatment to prevent them from becoming serious. This can help you maintain healthy teeth and gums and avoid costly dental procedures in the future.

Preventive dental care is the practice of caring for your teeth to keep them healthy and free from disease. This includes brushing and flossing your teeth regularly, visiting your dentist for routine checkups and cleanings, and eating a healthy diet. Preventive dental care can help you maintain healthy teeth and gums and reduce your risk of developing serious dental problems.

Dr. Anna Aller will conduct a thorough dental examination or check-up to carefully evaluate all of your dental tissues. Once the exam is completed, she will discuss your results and needs with you, aiming to increase your awareness of your dental health and requirements.

By investing in preventive dental care and visiting your dentist regularly, you can maintain healthy teeth and gums and reduce your risk of developing serious dental problems.

A dental check-up typically involves the following steps:

  1. Medical History Review: The dentist will review your medical history and ask about any current health issues, medications you are taking, allergies, and other factors that may affect your dental health.
  2. Examination of the Mouth: The dentist will examine your mouth, teeth, gums, and other oral tissues to check for any signs of problems such as cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, or other oral health issues.
  3. X-rays: The dentist may take x-rays to check for cavities or other problems that may not be visible during the visual examination.
  4. Cleaning: The dentist or dental hygienist will clean your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
  5. Oral Cancer Screening: The dentist will check for signs of oral cancer by examining the mouth, tongue, and throat.
  6. Treatment Plan: If any dental problems are detected during the check-up, the dentist will create a treatment plan and discuss it with you.

Overall, a dental check-up is an important part of maintaining good oral health and can help prevent serious dental problems from developing. It is recommended that you visit your dentist for a check-up at least once every six months.
