Importance of Routine Dental Evaluations
No matter how diligent you are about brushing and flossing your teeth on a regular basis, oral health problems can still develop over time. Left unchecked, things like plaque buildup and infection can cause significant health problems, including gum disease or severe tooth decay. During a dental evaluation, our skilled team can check for all these issues and develop a treatment plan to halt the worsening of any problems we find.
A dental exam can include screening for signs of other health conditions, including diabetes, leukemia, high blood pressure, oral cancer, sinus problems, or cardiovascular problems.
Some of the aspects we check for during dental evaluations include:
- New cavities that need fillings to prevent them from worsening
- Risk of tooth decay and root decay
- Signs of gum disease, or periodontal disease that can cause bone and gum loss in your jaw
- The alignment of your teeth and any potential need for tooth removal or realignment procedures
- Your bite and jaw alignment, including signs of teeth grinding or TMJ pain
- Your need for tooth restoration or tooth replacement
- Weakness or deterioration of existing dental work, including bridges, crowns, and fillings
