Why Do We Need a Periodic Exam?

Periodic dental examinations are crucial for protecting not only your oral health but also your overall health. Dental infections can lead to severe health issues such as heart problems, diabetes, and lupus, in addition to causing significant dental problems that may result in tooth loss. If your dentist identifies any signs of disease during the examination, you may be referred to a medical doctor. These sessions also provide an opportunity to receive professional tips on caring for your teeth and detecting oral health issues early. Early detection makes these issues easier to treat.

After your comprehensive dental examination, we will provide you with a detailed report and discuss the diagnosis process if any issues are found. Based on this report, we will design the next steps of your treatment, considering your preferences. Initially, we will conduct a clinic teeth cleaning session, and if your gums are weak or show signs of infection, we will prescribe appropriate medications. You can achieve and maintain a healthy oral state by following a daily oral hygiene routine and attending regular clinical check-ups.

At Batista Smile Design, we are dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain a beautiful, healthy smile.
