Dental Examination at Queen Street Dental Surgery

Regular dental checkups at Queen Street Dental Surgery are the most effective way to prevent dental problems. By catching signs of issues early, we can address them before they develop into more severe cases. Well-maintained oral health ensures you avoid fillings, root canals, stains, and tooth loss due to cavities or gum disease. Additionally, regular exams can help detect more serious conditions, such as oral cancer, early on.

Fillings, root canals, crowns, dental bonding, and dental implants all require regular inspections, often with X-rays, to ensure they remain in good condition. Damage or wear to these treatments can lead to further complications and, in some cases, may require dental surgery.

Prioritize your oral well-being by visiting Queen Street Dental Surgery regularly. By staying on top of your dental health, you’ll have fewer issues to manage and enjoy a healthier smile.

What to Expect at a Dental Examination at Queen Street Dental Surgery

During your dental examination at Queen Street Dental Surgery, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. Here’s what typically happens during a checkup:

• Health and Medical History Review: We will begin by asking about your general health, any medical conditions, current dental or oral issues, and any medications you are taking.
• Thorough Inspection: Our team will closely examine your teeth, gums, mouth, and tongue. We will look for signs of decay, inflamed gums, gum recession, discoloration, changes in soft tissue texture, unusual spots, or damage to existing restorations.
• X-rays if Needed: Depending on your dental health and the condition of any implants, bridges, or crowns, we may take X-rays. These images help us identify any underlying issues that may not be visible during the physical examination.
• Treatment Discussion: If any problems are detected, we will explain the necessary treatments and provide recommendations. We will also advise you on steps to prevent potential oral or gum diseases.
• Oral Care Guidance: You will receive personalized advice on maintaining good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing techniques, dietary recommendations, and the impact of alcohol consumption and smoking on your dental health.
• Scheduling Future Appointments: Based on your oral health, we will discuss the timing of your next checkup to ensure you maintain optimal dental health.
