Regular dental check ups are important to prevent dental problems and maintain your oral health. At MarPark Dental Care, we recommend an exam at least every year for adults and every six months for children. Our check ups include but are not limited to the following:
Medical history review: Your overall health is closely tied to your oral health.
Review of diagnostic x-rays: This helps us detect decay, tumors, cysts, bone level, root position and much more. We utilize digital x-ray machines to minimize your radiation exposure.
Oral cancer screening: We check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, gums and oral mucosa for any sign of oral cancer. We also have the aide of a Velscope to detect irregularities in your mouth.
Checking for tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be examined for decay.
Examination of existing restorations: Check the status of current fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, etc.
Finally providing you with options and a customized treatment plan.
