Preventative Dental Exams And Teeth Cleaning
Even with proper brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up and cause harm to your teeth and gums. Regular dental exams and teeth cleaning are a vital part of preventative dental care. To protect your oral health, have your teeth examined and professionally cleaned by Drs. William and Christine Sikora at Sikora Family Dentistry in North Olmsted, Ohio. We're dedicated to making each our patients' dental visits a positive and pleasant experience. With over 28 years of experience, we take a modern approach to dentistry to ensure your teeth are as healthy as they can be.
Dental Exams
Preventative dental care begins with regular dental exams to detect and treat problems as soon as they arise. Our dentists perform comprehensive dental exams, which include:
- Evaluating your overall oral hygiene
- Examining tooth surfaces for decay
- Evaluating your risk of tooth decay and gum disease
- Examining existing fillings, crowns and restorations
- Evaluating the need for tooth restoration or replacement
- Checking your gums and bone density for signs of periodontal (gum) disease
- Checking your bite and jaw for problems
- Assessing your need for fluoride
- Screening for oral cancer
Your dental exam may also include dental X-rays or other diagnostic procedures, which are essential for the early detection of tooth placement, tooth decay, bone loss, abnormalities of the root structure, tumors, cysts and other oral health issues.
Teeth Cleaning
We remove stains and remaining deposits during polishing. Our dental hygienists may demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques and provide other oral home care instructions to help you keep your teeth clean and healthy between visits. Cleanings are painless, and you'll love how your teeth feel afterward.
