For all of our patients, regular check-ups are essential, as our team performs a comprehensive diagnostic examination of your teeth and mouth. This exam involves a thorough check for tooth decay, but it also includes screening for periodontal (gum) disease, oral cancer and other health-related oral issues, tooth grinding (bruxism), toothbrush abrasion, and the deterioration of old crowns, bridges, and fillings.

For our younger patients, it’s even more important to come in for regular check-ups so we can monitor your child’s teeth as they move and change over time. From their first baby teeth to their third set of molars or wisdom teeth, regular dental appointments help your child feel comfortable visiting the dentist. These visits also allow us to monitor the changes in your child’s mouth, so we can encourage healthy brushing and flossing, and discuss any issues with you that we see during the exam before they turn into larger problems.

For all patients, problems diagnosed at an early stage can normally be treated in a quick and easy fashion, while those that go undetected for too long often result in serious, costly, and sometimes painful dental health problems.

For all of these reasons, we will recommend a regular checkup schedule for each of you, depending on what you need for your best oral health. We want to be your oral health partners through every stage of your family’s growth.
