Dental Exams & Cleanings in Miami
How is the Dental Exams & Cleanings procedure at Flores Dental Group?
During a routine dental checkup, Dr. Flores’ assistant or hygienist will take new set of x-rays, examine the teeth, gums, lips, and jaw for signs of tartar, decay or damage. We will also review the patient’s overall oral health to determine if there are any symptoms of other health concerns areas to be worried about in the future. In most cases, this process is relatively painless, but you might experience some very mild discomfort during the exam and cleaning. This is a great time to also ask questions about other oral health concerns you have, such as the need for whitening treatments, aligners, or the removal of wisdom teeth.
During a dental exam the dentist is looking for any indications of tooth decay or infection and visible damage. He will also usually screen for signs of disease or even certain types of oral cancer. Since this is usually a preventative appointment, the biggest concern is current care and whether or not certain markers for future dental disease are present. If you’ve neglected brushing and flossing on a regular schedule, the dentist and or hygienist will likely coach you on what habits to start as soon as possible.
- Oral Cancer Screening: During this part of the exam process, the dentist and or hygienist will looks at the inside of your mouth with an special light that will help them determine if there are any signs of a heightened oral cancer risk. This procedure is not painful in any way
- Fluoride treatment: Fluoride can help or even reverse a cavity if it’s identified early enough, by restoring the enamel. The fluoride is applied as either a gel or foam that can be brushed onto the teeth or held on the teeth by a tray that is placed over your teeth for a few minutes.
