Dental Exams
Lacey, WA
 If you need to avoid dental issues, then the first thing that you should consider is having regular dental exams. Dental exams will not be complete if you do not observe routine oral hygiene practices, and a healthy diet. You need to ensure that you observe these in order to have optimal oral health. Our dentists at recommend regular dental exams to prevent future oral problems.
General Oral Health
If you have deposits of plaque and tartar that have accumulated for a long time since you last had a dental examination, they will need to be removed by conducting a professional dental cleaning. Brushing and flossing alone are not enough and that is why you need to have your teeth cleaned professionally. A dental exam is thorough, and it is a preventive form of dentistry. During the dental exam, the dentist will check for oral health issues such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. By use of x-rays our dental professionals will ensure that they see even the hidden parts of the mouth to keep you safe. Having a dental examination will give you a chance to learn about the methods and tools that are in the dental office and those that you can use at home to care for your teeth and gums.
When you undergo preventive care, it means that you are seeking treatment to prevent any oral health issues. For example, if you have gum disease it can translate to more serious health issues, but if detected early, it can be treated. Ensure that you have regular dental exams in order for us to detect any oral issues before they become more serious.
Dental Exams Help Reduce General Health Problems
The mouth harbors bacteria, mucus, food, and many more impurities. When you go for a long time without cleaning your teeth and gums, you are likely to develop cavities, bad breath, and many more health issues. The concern of not observing oral hygiene goes beyond the mouth and can affect your overall health as well. The mouth has a link to many other body parts and that is why you need to keep the mouth healthy. Gum disease is associated with health issues like dementia, heart disease, and diabetes.
