Brushing and flossing your teeth at home isn’t enough to maintain good oral health.
We also recommend you schedule dental exams every 6 months so our dentist can check for tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
We understand you have a busy schedule. However, routine oral examinations can help you avoid tooth pain and intensive dental procedures.
Benefits Of Oral Examinations
We’ll need to take dental x-rays from time to time. For example, we need to do a panoramic x-ray every 2 to 5 years to check for bone abnormalities, impacted teeth, cysts, and other oral health issues. Dental x-rays help us understand what is happening beneath the surface so you can avoid problems in the future.
During your appointment, you will have the opportunity to ask questions about your oral health. Our dentist will be more than happy to explain how you can achieve a beautiful healthy smile. During your appointment, we’ll do an oral cancer screening, check your bite and jaw, and make sure you understand your risk for cavities and gum disease.
Dr. Kavanagh and Dr. Loprete provide quality dental care so you can smile with confidence and enjoy better overall health. To schedule your oral examination with our dentist in Bloomfield Hills MI, call (248) 335-4427.
