In our most recent blog post, we took an in-depth look at what actually takes place during your dental cleaning. We also looked at the ways a regular cleaning once every six months can promote a lifelong bill of oral health, as well as what steps you can take at home to care for your teeth properly. Your checkup consists of more than just your cleaning, however, and your dental examination helps identify potential concerns earlier in the process. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist takes a look at the reasons you should have your smile examined twice a year and what could occur if you do not.

Identifying Major Concerns

By now, you are likely familiar with the notion that failing to provide sufficient at-home dental care can lead to one or more teeth developing cavities. What’s more? Oral health concerns can develop rapidly if you are not paying attention, and the longer you endure them, the more difficult they will become to treat.

You see, the last thing our team wants is for you to experience a complication to your oral health of any kind, and as such, we recommend prioritizing your preventive dental efforts. But what exactly does this mean and how do you know you are doing the most?

Dental prevention is considered any practice that aims to strengthen your natural defenses and promote healthy structures. Moreover, your dental examination helps identify major points of concern through a careful check by a professional. By identifying signs of potential concern, we are able to collaborate and develop a game plan for tackling such issues. For more information about this process, give our team a call today.

Formulating A Game Plan

Your dental examination is a critical element of your in-office dental visit, as it allows our team to provide feedback in terms of what areas of your grin may require additional help. For example, we take care to check your teeth, gums, tongue, lips, cheeks, throat, and more for any signs of damage, infection, or trauma.

Once potential issues have been identified, our team works with you to develop an action plan for treating any concerns. Remember, the longer you wait to treat the issue, the more likely it will be to become an even bigger issue. Contact our team today to learn more.

Looking at Additional Care

In the event you are experiencing heightened levels of a dental health threat, or require additional assistance keeping your smile healthy, we can offer additional treatment to promote health and protection.
