Do I Need to Prepare for a Dental Exam?

When it comes to dental exams, patients don’t need to do much to get ready. We appreciate it if you can arrive on time with the information requested, answer questions about your oral and overall health to ensure that we have an up-to-date health history, and let us know if dental anxiety is a major issue so that we can help. It’s also nice if you brush and floss before your appointment.

While they’re sometimes called oral exams, dental checkups aren’t pop quizzes, so there’s no need to be nervous or worry about getting the answer wrong. Relax, and be honest. Our dentists want to help you have the best smile possible, so they’ll be checking your mouth, teeth, and gums for any signs of common issues. These include tooth decay, bruxism, oral cancer, bone loss, and gum disease. If you have questions, please ask so that we can offer useful answers.

We’re proud that so many of our patients have entrusted us with the care of their oral health through the years. We hope to add your name to the list. Contact us to make an appointment for a dental exam.

How Do Dental Cleanings and Gum Treatments Benefit My Health?

You already brush and floss. Why do you need a professional cleaning? The explanation is a matter of depth. Every day, there’s a biofilm called plaque that is constantly forming on your teeth. Diligent brushing and flossing do a decent job of removing it. However, any plaque that’s missed will harden into a tougher foe called tartar or calculus. Tartar won’t budge when you brush. It takes the kind of professional-strength power that you’ll only get when you see your dentist for a deep cleaning of your teeth.

Tartar doesn’t just impact the teeth. It can also harm the gums. Gingivitis is a mild version of gum disease. Many adults deal with this issue, which can lead to red, tender gums that are prone to bleeding. If you’re one of them, it’s important to ask about gum disease treatment so that your condition doesn’t get worse. Advanced gum disease, or periodontitis, can lead to tooth loss and a need for dentures, so don’t hesitate to discuss periodontal treatment if you have any concerns.

Will a Dentist Help Target Bad Breath Causes?

Battling halitosis, or bad breath, can be mortifying. It can cause harm emotionally, socially, and professionally. Even learning that roughly one in four Americans struggle with the problem offers little relief. However, discovering that a dentist can free you from bad breath with treatments that target the causes of bad breath can provide real freedom.

Some bouts of bad breath are triggered by foods. Many of the most persistent issues are associated with tooth decay and oral hygiene troubles. Dentists are perfectly positioned to target these issues. We can provide professional cleanings, specialized treatments, and at-home oral hygiene guidance. It’s a formula that can tame bad breath quickly and easily.

Why Are Oral Cancer Screenings Valuable?

Oral cancer has a five-year survival rate of 57%, according to Mayo Clinic. If those statistics hold true, slightly more than half of the people diagnosed this year will still be alive in five years. Finding the cancer sooner is one of the best ways to increase your chances of survival. Sadly, oral cancer doesn’t reveal itself with obvious symptoms in the initial stages. When patients feel a lump, it’s generally already spread. Oral cancer screenings provide priceless early detection information.

We’re committed to keeping smiles healthy. An oral cancer screening is recommended for everyone ages 18 and older. It’s quick and painless, so we deliver one with your first dental exam.

Your oral health matters. When you want to reach out to a dentist for dental cleanings, treatments, or a dental exam in Delray Beach, turn to our trusted practice. Contact us today to see how easy scheduling an appointment can be.
