Benefits of Dental Exams
Dental exams performed by a reputable dentist in Canton, OH, like Dr. Said, will improve your overall health by:
Remove Plaque and Tartar
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If plaque is not removed, it can harden into tartar, which is much more difficult to remove. Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, helping to keep your smile healthy.
Protect Your Tooth Enamel
Plaque and tartar can also damage your tooth enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth. When the enamel is damaged, it is more susceptible to decay and other oral health problems. Dental cleanings help to protect your tooth enamel and keep your smile looking its best.
Whiten Your Teeth
Over time, your teeth can become stained by coffee, tea, tobacco, and other dark-colored foods and drinks. Dental cleanings can help to remove these stains, leaving you with a brighter, whiter smile.
What We’ll Review
During your first visit, you can expect:
1. Full Mouth X-Rays
We will take a series of digital x-rays tailored to your specific needs. These x-rays help us get a clear view of your teeth and underlying structures.
2. Intra-Oral Pictures
We’ll capture detailed photos of the inside of your mouth, providing a visual record of your dental health.
3. Comprehensive Exam
Our team will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, including a complete periodontal evaluation and charting of any existing restorations or decay.
4. Dental Cleaning
A standard cleaning is included to remove plaque and tartar. If you require more extensive periodontal therapy, we may start treatment on the same day if time permits. For scaling and root planing, we’ll aim to complete one quadrant during this visit and schedule follow-up appointments for the rest.
5. Discussion of Treatment Plan
Based on our findings, we will discuss your treatment options and develop a plan tailored to your needs.
We Are Excited for Your Visit!
We’re committed to making your first visit comfortable and informative. Our goal is to ensure you leave with a clear understanding of your dental health and a personalized plan for maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile.
We look forward to meeting you!
