Preventive Dentistry Dental Examination Procedure – What to Expect

Regular preventive dental care does more than protect your teeth and gums – it’s a window to your overall health. Regular dental check-ups at Dousman Family Dentistry help doctors frequently detect or prevent chronic illnesses before they can become serious while helping you maintain a bright, confident smile. The mouth provides many clues to things going on in the body.

At a typical preventive appointment, you will first meet a dental hygienist, who will do a basic exam, teeth cleaning, and fluoride application (if necessary). Digital x-rays, which offer a more comfortable and detailed diagnostic images at lower radiation levels, may be taken as well.
