Dental Cleanings

Dental cleanings are a vital aspect of your overall oral care. These cleanings do not replace, but complement daily brushing and flossing routines by thoroughly removing plaque and tartar from the teeth. Even with diligent at-home oral hygiene, certain areas on your teeth may be challenging to reach, making professional cleanings essential. Dental cleanings help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. They also provide an opportunity for dental professionals to assess the health of your gums and identify any signs of inflammation or infection. Regular dental cleanings contribute to a healthier and brighter smile while promoting overall oral health and well-being.

Advanced Dental Imaging

Advanced dental imaging, also known as digital radiographs, are an important part of dental care. Dental images allow dentists to evaluate the health of the teeth beneath the gumline, detect cavities between the teeth, assess the condition of the roots, and monitor the bone structure supporting the teeth. These images help identify dental issues in their early stages, enabling prompt intervention. With the advancement of digital radiography, dental images are now faster, safer, and more efficient, using minimal radiation exposure. Routine dental images are an essential diagnostic tool that enhances the accuracy of diagnoses and treatment planning.

Oral Exams

Oral exams are key components of dental visits that involve a thorough evaluation of your oral health. During an oral exam, the dentist examines your teeth, gums, tongue, throat, and other oral structures for any abnormalities or signs of disease. The dentist at Haverford Smiles looks for symptoms of oral cancer, such as red or white patches, sores, or lumps. Oral exams help identify dental issues like cavities, gum disease, or malocclusion, allowing for timely intervention. They also provide an opportunity for dentists to discuss oral hygiene practices, diet, and lifestyle factors that can impact oral health. Regular oral exams are essential for maintaining good oral health, preventing oral diseases, and ensuring early detection and treatment of any potential concerns.
