Dental Exams & Checkups
The Importance of Routine Dental Care
At Water’s Edge, we promote routine dental care for prevention of oral health problems and encourage patients to see their dentist at least twice a year.
Routine dental care can:
- Remove plaque and tartar, preventing cavities
- Promote gum health by cleaning around gums
- Identifying dental issues early, allowing for less invasive options
- Help patients maintain their dental health goals
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
A routine dental exam can include a digital X-ray, if one hasn’t been done recently. It also includes teeth cleaning done by a hygienist and a visual exam performed by one of our professional dentists.
