Has it been a while since your last dental exam and cleaning? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! Whether you are nervous about coming to the dental office, or maybe life just got in the way and you missed an appointment or two, we want to help get you back on track with routine dental exams.
We follow the American Dental Association (ADA) recommendations that healthy adults and children should see a dentist every six months for comprehensive exams, cleanings, and any needed x-rays. These visits are important for several reasons. First, they give your professional dental team a chance to find any issues early, rather than after they turn into something more serious — and more expensive — to repair. Second, these visits allow our team to give you that deep cleaning you just can’t get at home. Finally, routine exams for adults generally lead to better oral care at home.
During your routine visits, we complete a comprehensive exam to evaluate your dental health, including:
If everything looks good and you are only in need of a standard cleaning, we generally complete this during your appointment. We want all our patients to know, however, that if we find evidence of periodontal disease, you may need a different type of cleaning to properly treat these areas. We will discuss this with you at your appointment, and get you scheduled for the proper periodontal treatment you need to get your oral health back on track.
We’re here to make sure your teeth stay beautiful! Contact Frisco Dental Associates today at 972-335-2201 for scheduling dental exams.
