Why Choose General Dentistry?
General dental care is the foundation of oral health. It’s about more than just keeping your teeth clean—it’s a comprehensive approach to maintaining your overall dental well-being. Regular exams, cleanings, and routine care significantly prevent dental problems before they start. Please think of us as your dental health partners. We’re committed to catching and managing any potential issues early on, which can save you time, discomfort, and expense down the road.
The Importance of Regular Dental Exams
Why are regular dental exams so important? That’s a great question! Dental exams are crucial because they allow us to identify and address concerns before they become significant problems. During an exam, we don’t just check for cavities. We also examine your gums, evaluate your bite, and screen for oral cancer. It’s a thorough process designed to give you complete peace of mind.
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
A typical dental exam at The Newport Beach Dentist is detailed and gentle. Here’s a little taste of what you can expect:
Meeting The General Dentist:
- Start with a warm welcome. We’ll get to know you and your dental history. It’s our priority to make you feel comfortable and informed about the process.
Thorough Cleaning:
- Our hygienists will professionally clean your teeth. They’ll remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can’t tackle. This is not just about aesthetics; it prevents decay and gum disease.
X-Rays:
- We often recommend taking X-rays to get a detailed picture of your teeth and jaw health. This lets us see what’s beneath the surface and catch issues early.
Detailed Exam:
- Dr. Haroonian will then perform a thorough examination. This includes checking each tooth for signs of decay, evaluating the health of your gums, and assessing your bite and jaw alignment.
Oral Cancer Screening:
- We can conduct a quick, painless exam to look for any signs of oral cancer. This is a standard part of our routine checkups because early detection is critical.
Discussion and Planning:
- After the exam, we will discuss our findings with you. If any treatment is required, we’ll explain your options and answer any questions you might have. Our goal is to ensure you fully understand your oral health and the next steps, if any, are needed.
