Everyone should undergo a comprehensive dental exam at least once every three years, starting when they are two years old. However, the frequency might increase if we feel that you carry a higher than usual risk of certain diseases or conditions based on the findings of your initial comprehensive dental exam.
Besides, maintaining good oral health is the key if you want to avoid pain, infection, bad breath, or extensive dental treatment. Detected early, a decayed tooth can be filled; left till later, it may need a root canal treatment or an extraction. Furthermore, an extracted tooth may need a dental bridge or a dental implant. A large carious lesion may need a crown.
Hence, the key to avoiding extensive treatments like root canals, extractions, and dental implants is regular check-ups. If left untreated, cavities, wisdom teeth, and gum disease, small ulcers can escalate into more complicated issues such as tooth loss and even oral cancer. Early detection and treatment is essential in controlling them.
At Brite Dental Group, we carry out comprehensive dental exams and identify any potential problems. As a result of early detection of tooth decay, cracks, and gum disease makes most conditions easier to manage and treat. Also, a check up gives us a chance to go through your diet and medications, and discuss the impact they might have on your oral health. It also gives us a chance to discuss your oral hygiene regime and suggest changes as deemed necessary.
