Comprehensive Examination
Comprehensive Dental Check-up
At Strand Dental Centre, we believe that preventive care is the foundation of maintaining optimal oral health. A comprehensive dental examination is a vital part of our preventive approach, allowing us to assess your teeth, gums, jaw, and other oral structures thoroughly to detect potential issues before they become major problems.
What Does a Comprehensive Dental Examination Involve?
During a comprehensive dental examination, our experienced dentists perform the following:
- Medical history review: We review your medical history to identify any conditions that may impact your oral health.
- Examination of teeth and gums: Our dentists assess your teeth and gums for signs of decay, cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns.
- X-rays: We may take X-rays to identify dental issues not visible in a standard exam.
- Oral cancer screening: Our dentists check for signs of oral cancer, such as lumps, sores, or other abnormalities.
Why Have a Comprehensive Dental Examination?
A comprehensive dental examination provides numerous benefits, including:
- Early detection and treatment: Identifying dental issues early can prevent them from becoming more severe and costly to address.
- Tooth loss prevention: Regular check-ups help prevent tooth loss by addressing decay and gum disease, the leading causes of tooth loss.
- Improved overall health: Research links oral health to overall well-being. Our examination can also reveal health concerns that impact your general health.
How Often Should You Have a Comprehensive Dental Examination?
At Strand Dental Centre, we recommend a comprehensive dental examination every six months, though frequency may vary based on your unique oral health needs. Our dentists will create a personalized schedule to ensure your ongoing dental health.
