Dental exams are more than just a routine checkup.
They play a vital role in:

Early Detection of Dental Problems

Identifying cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues before they become serious.

Preventing Tooth Decay and Gum Disease

Professional cleanings and examinations help remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of these common dental problems.

Personalized Treatment Planning

We can develop a customized treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.

Education and Guidance

We provide valuable information on proper oral hygiene practices and answer any questions you may have.

Patients of All Ages

Who should get dental exams?

We recommend that patients of all ages visit Atlantic Dental Center for dental exams at least every six months. More frequent visits may be recommended for individuals with specific oral health concerns.

What is the process?

Our comprehensive dental exams are designed to provide a thorough assessment of your oral health.

Medical History

We begin by reviewing your medical history and discussing any current health concerns to understand your overall well-being.

Visual Exam

Following this, we perform a detailed visual examination of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues, checking for signs of decay, inflammation, or abnormalities. We also conduct a periodontal evaluation to assess the health of your gums and screen for oral cancer through a visual examination of your oral tissues.

X-Rays

To gain a deeper understanding of your oral health, we take dental X-rays, which allow us to detect hidden issues such as cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth.

Cleaning and Advice

To complete the exam, our skilled hygienists perform a professional cleaning, removing plaque and tartar buildup to leave your teeth feeling clean and refreshed. Finally, we provide personalized recommendations tailored to your individual needs, offering guidance on maintaining optimal oral hygiene at home, including brushing, flossing, and dietary advice, ensuring you have the tools and knowledge for a healthy smile.
