Examination
We recommend that you get your teeth professionally checked and cleaned at least once a year.
A dental examination or checkup is an important part of preventive care.
Preventive care is essential to keeping your teeth, gums, and whole body healthy. With routine appointments at SosDental, we’ll help keep your smile free of gum disease and tooth decay, and we’ll be able to catch any small issues before they become bigger problems.
Many serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, preterm birth, and low birth weight, have been linked to oral disease. At Northside Dental, we believe that a healthy mouth is a crucial part of a healthy body and mind.
We may suggest things like fluoride or sealants to help protect your teeth and keep cavities from happening.
What can I expect from my first consultation at SOS Dental?
Based on this initial exam, we will create your customised dental treatment plan, which will be a guide for you and your dental care team going forward.
Here’s what you can expect at your first dental checkup:
- A review of your medical history. Tell your dentist about your diet or medications, as these may impact your treatment and oral health.
- Have a conversation with your dentist about any concerns you have regarding your teeth, mouth, or overall oral health—we encourage you to ask questions.
- An oral exam, including a visual gum tissue check and visual oral cancer scan
- X-rays, if necessary, to see your teeth below the gum line
- A comprehensive treatment plan with recommended treatment and ongoing care from your dentist
What can I expect from a routine Dental Check up at SOS Dental?
During your visit, Dr. Raphaelle will assess your mouth to make sure you are free from any signs of dental health issues. Then, perform an oral cancer screening and take x-rays to look for signs of a serious disease. In addition, a deep cleaning is performed to reduce harmful bacteria, tartar, and plaque.
