Dental Exams And Check Ups in Hockessin, DE

Why Get A Dental Exam?

Dental exams give us the opportunity to evaluate your current methods of dental home care and provide suggestions for future care in order to protect you from complications such as cavities and gum disease. They also allow us to detect problems early so they can be fixed quickly and easily. Early detection of oral cancer is imperative for successful treatment.  An oral cancer screening is performed with every dental exam to check for signs and symptoms of precancerous conditions in your mouth.

How Often Should You Get A Dental Exam?

Dental exams should generally take place every six months. However, consult with our team to decide how often you should be examined, for we may suggest that you visit more frequently based on factors such as smoking, frequency of cavities and genetic susceptibility to tooth and root decay as well as gum disease.

How Important Is Oral Hygiene?

Oral hygiene is necessary for eliminating bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria builds to form plaque that can harden and lead to long-term ailments such as gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease, and periodontal disease if it is not removed. A good dental care routine and regular check ups will keep your mouth healthy and prevent inflammation, infection, decay, and tooth loss.
