Regular dental exams are crucial for several reasons:
When you visit Florida Dental Studio for a dental exam, you can expect a comprehensive and comfortable experience. Here’s what typically happens during a dental exam:
Your visit begins with a review of your medical and dental history. This review helps us understand any underlying conditions, medications, or past treatments that might impact your oral health.
Dr. Gavilla or Dr. Gonzalez will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth. This exam includes checking for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues.
If necessary, we will take digital X-rays to get a detailed view of your teeth, roots, and jawbone. X-rays help detect problems not visible during the visual exam, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, and impacted teeth.
A dental hygienist will clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. The cleaning process also includes polishing your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile looking brighter.
We will assess the health of your gums, checking for signs of gum disease such as redness, swelling, and bleeding. This assessment is crucial for preventing periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
We will evaluate your bite and jaw alignment to check for issues such as TMJ disorders and teeth grinding, which can affect oral health and cause discomfort.
Dr. Gavilla or Dr. Gonzalez will discuss their findings with you after the examination. They will recommend any necessary treatments and advise on maintaining your oral health.
X-rays are not typically required at every dental visit. The frequency of X-rays depends on your oral health status, dental history, and risk factors. For example, patients with a history of dental problems or those experiencing symptoms might need X-rays more frequently. Your dentist will determine the appropriate interval for X-rays based on your needs.
If we detect a cavity during your dental exam, the dentist will discuss the best treatment options with you. Common treatments include fillings, crowns, or, in some cases, root canal therapy. The goal is to treat the cavity as soon as possible to prevent it from worsening and to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
