What to Expect During Your Dental Checkup
1. Teeth Cleaning
We start with a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. This helps prevent cavities and keeps your smile fresh.
2. Dental Exam
Dr. Joanne Oh will carefully examine your teeth and gums, looking for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues.
3. Digital X-rays
We use advanced digital X-rays to get a clear view of your teeth and jaw. This helps us detect any hidden problems that may not be visible during the exam.
4. Oral Cancer Screening
Your health is our top priority. We perform a quick and painless oral cancer screening as part of every checkup to ensure your mouth is healthy.
The Mouth-Body Connection
Did you know that your oral health is closely linked to your overall health? Issues like gum disease can increase your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Regular dental checkups play a crucial role in maintaining not just your smile but your entire body’s well-being.
