Teeth Exams in Wilmington, NC
Is It Really “Just a Cleaning”?
There is nothing we provide for our patients that is more vital to their dental health than a professional dental cleaning and examination. Regular check-ups and cleanings can help prevent dental and medical problems such as gum disease, infection, bone loss, heart disease, cancer, stroke and more. Here are our top reasons to be faithful and diligent concerning your all-important semi-annual dental cleanings:
1. To Enable Early Detection of Oral Cancer
According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, one American dies every hour of every day from oral cancer. When you have your dental cleaning, we are screening you for oral cancer. Early detection is vital.
2. To Prevent Gum Disease
Gum disease is an infection in your gum tissues and your jaw bone and is the leading cause of tooth loss. This disease may be present with no symptoms until one of your teeth becomes mobile from the loss of bone. We have the tools to find and manage this silent enemy of your dental health.
3. To Keep Your Teeth
A beautiful smile is a worthy goal, but keeping that smile HEALTHY is vital for proper chewing function and ultimately, better health and self esteem.
4. To Help Maintain Good Physical Health
Long term studies have linked gum disease to heart attacks, strokes, low birth weight in infants, diabetes, and other health complications. Regular dental cleanings will significantly reduce these health risks.
5. To Detect Dental Problems Early
While modern dentistry has definitely helped to make restorative procedures more comfortable, our goal is to detect any teeth or gum issues early on while they are more easily treatable. While root canals, tooth replacement with implant therapy, and crowns are procedures we are well trained to provide for you, we would much prefer to discover dental problems at the earliest possible stage and avoid these more aggressive treatment options whenever possible.
6. To Maintain Good Oral Health
“As the mouth goes, the body goes”. Good oral health is a team effort between your home care skills, and our training in diagnosing problems at an early stage. We can show you how to improve your home care skills for maximum effect.
7. To Create a Treatment Plan
The most vital beginning of any important project is good planning. With an accurate overall picture of your dental needs, together we can create a plan for taking care of any issues that we discover, prioritize them, and work together to restore you to excellent dental health.
8. To Enjoy a Whiter Smile
At your preventive appointment, your hygienist will be able to remove most stains such as tobacco, coffee, and tea. She will polish your teeth to their most beautiful luster!
9. To Prevent Bad Breath
Regular cleanings and check-ups are your best weapon against dental problems that are most often the major culprit behind persistent bad breath.
