Keep your teeth sparkling and your smile healthy with dental examinations every six months. You should not skip semi-annual dental examinations – contact Scottsdale Dental Solutions today to schedule your next appointment.

Why are Dental Examinations So Important?

Conducting a dental exam every six months can help prevent dental problems down the road. Dr. Sheth is uniquely, professionally trained to identify areas of concern with your oral health. Unfortunately, you may not see or feel a dental issue until it’s advanced into a painful situation. Our dentist can help identify and treat problems before they become unbearable for the patient. Regular dental examinations can avoid extensive treatments for cavities, gum disease, and root canals. Your dentist utilizes his or her training and technology to bring you the most thorough analysis of your oral health and recommendations for treatment to keep your whole body healthy.

Maintaining a healthy mouth is also essential for your overall health. If your teeth hurt or are damaged, you cannot eat properly. Disease in your mouth causes a build-up of bacteria that may be associated with other chronic health conditions. Gum disease may increase the risk of heart disease or worsen existing coronary artery disease, cause lung infections, or even make it difficult to control your blood sugar.

What Services are Provided During a Dental Exam?

When you visit our Scottsdale, AZ dental office, our dental hygienist will first examine your teeth and gums and then clean and polish your teeth. The hygienist will also be available to discuss any concerns you might have about your daily dental care. If necessary and appropriate, we will also take dental X-rays to allow the dentist to better evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw’s health.

After your cleaning and any necessary X-rays are taken, the dentist will perform a thorough exam of your entire mouth. The dentist will probe your teeth and gums and evaluate the health of your entire mouth, including the mouth tongue and other soft tissues inside your mouth.

What if I am Afraid to Visit the Dentist?

We understand that a trip to the dentist produces significant anxiety in many people. You should never allow your stress to prevent you from receiving much needed preventative dental examinations. Postponing dental exams due to the dental chair fear only poses the potential for advanced gum disease, decay, and tooth loss. Scottsdale Dental Solutions can work with you individually to create a care plan that keeps you comfortable when visiting our office, including options for sedation dentistry if necessary.
