Things are happening in your mouth all day and night long. Bacteria builds up along your gum line, acids attack, clenching and grinding wears away at the enamel, cavities compromise tooth strength – and often all of these things start to deteriorate the health of your smile without even the slightest sign or symptom. This is why we emphasize the importance of regular dental checkups. Regularly scheduled dental exams keep us informed of any changes as they occur. The earlier problems are caught the better – it allows us to treat your teeth more conservatively and that’s good for both your health and for your budget! During every comprehensive exam we will check for:

• Cavities
• Decay
• Gum disease
• Oral cancer
• Sleep apnea symptoms
• Signs of TMJ disorder
• Dry mouth

And because all of our treatment rooms are computerized, we can easily compare the results of your current exam against past exams for ideal evaluation and diagnosis.
