A comprehensive oral exam or dental checkup plays a crucial role in assessing your oral health. This evaluation aims to address your concerns and outline your treatment goals. Depending on your needs, the examination may focus on a specific area or encompass the entire mouth. The process includes a thorough review of your medical history and a detailed examination to detect any signs of discomfort, swelling, damaged or decayed teeth, and gum health.
At Bella Smiles Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, Dr. Gibson utilizes advanced dental radiography to enhance the diagnostic process. These dental x-rays help uncover hidden dental conditions not visible during a standard oral examination. Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan is crafted, tailored specifically to meet your unique dental health needs and aspirations.
Oral cancer originates in the cells of the mouth, tongue, or throat. Screening for this disease involves a meticulous examination of oral tissues for any abnormalities such as lumps, sores, discolored areas, or unusual growths. The screening extends beyond the mouth to include the head, neck, and facial areas, ensuring comprehensive care.
Regular teeth cleaning by a professional is essential, even for those who brush and floss diligently. Recommended bi-annually, professional cleanings eliminate plaque, tartar, and stains that accumulate above the gum line. This process not only helps in preventing tooth decay and gum disease but also leaves your teeth feeling exceptionally clean and potentially brighter.
Embracing preventative care through regular dental exams and cleanings lays the foundation for a healthy, stunning smile. Schedule your visit at Bella Smiles Cosmetic and Family Dentistry today and experience dedicated dental care right in the heart of Sugar Land.
