Preventive Dental Checkups
Maintain your oral health with regular dental checkups!
Rainbow Dental Centre in beautiful Angus, Ontario offers dental checkups for new and existing patients
Regular dental check ups are an important step in maintaining good oral health. During a checkup at Rainbow Dental Centre in Angus, your dentist will complete a thorough exam looking for gum disease, cavities, broken teeth, infection, early signs of oral cancer, and signs of other problems that could affect your oral and overall health. If a cavity is detected, our patients are booked promptly into the dentist’s schedule to have the tooth restored. If you wear dentures, your dentist will check to see if there are signs that they are becoming damaged, ensure they are fitting well with good retention, and also assess how clean they are being kept. If you have one or more dental implants, your dentist will assess the health of the gum tissue surrounding the implant to ensure any potential problems are identified early. During your dental checkup, it is important to talk to your dentist about your general health – lifestyle choices such as smoking, any new medical conditions, hospitalizations or medications can all affect your overall oral health as well as the recommendations given to you by your dental care team.
Additionally, it is very important to let your dentist know if you have any changes or problems with your teeth, gums or mouth. A few examples of these would be:
- Teeth that have become loose or mobile
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Bleeding gums
- A tooth that is sore when chewing
- Any other tooth concern that is new
Once informed, your dentist will review your symptoms and perform some diagnostic tests to determine the cause of your discomfort. Your dentist will then discuss with you the treatment options available to address your concerns.
The frequency in which you should visit Rainbow Dental Centre for a dental checkup depends on how well you care for your teeth and gums, how quickly tartar or calculus builds up on your teeth, and if there are any problems that need to be monitored or require treatment. Regular visits to the dentist will help to identify problems in the early stages before they progress into more serious issues.
