What To Expect At Your Preventive Dental Care Appointment
Professional Cleaning
Get ready to smile after we thoroughly clean your teeth and gums. No plaque or tartar buildup can hide from us! We'll ensure every part of your mouth is sparkling with a dental cleaning and deep flossing in all those hard-to-reach corners. When it's time for the grand finale, we'll give you an extra shine with our polishing routine that will leave you feeling energized and looking fantastic!
Any Necessary X-Rays
As part of a preventive care appointment, Dr. Robotham may suggest taking some dental x-rays to get a deeper look into your smile. We can uncover hidden issues that could go unnoticed by looking at the surface. Not only does this help with diagnosing problems, but it allows us to create an effective treatment plan tailored specifically for you.
Comprehensive Exam
We will take a deep dive into your dental health, giving your teeth, gums, and mouth the royal treatment. If we spot any problems, our team is dedicated to teaching you all about what's going on with your oral health. Together, we can keep those pearly whites shining for years to come!
Personalized Treatment Plan
We understand the importance of a custom treatment plan that meets your needs, budget, and lifestyle. After exploring all available options with you from our exam and x-rays, let's work together to ensure everything looks great for your next scheduled cleaning or checkup. We might suggest bad breath treatment, TMJ treatment, or other general dentistry services to help your smile look, feel, (and smell) best.
Schedule Follow Up Appointment
Whether it’s biannual dental cleanings and checkups or ongoing treatment, Dr. Robotham and her team are available for you every step of the way. We'll clear up any insurance confusion and provide flexible financing options. Let us show we care about more than just your dental health by making each appointment straightforward and worry-free.
Professional Cleaning
To start things off, we’ll perform a complete cleaning of your teeth and gums, using special tools to remove any plaque and tartar that may have built up along the gumline. Essential aspects of your cleaning will include thorough flossing between your teeth in all those hard-to-reach places, and scraping off plaque that has accumulated along the gum line. To finish the cleaning process, we’ll polish your teeth, leaving you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and ready to smile.
Any Necessary X-Rays
If you’re new to the office or haven’t had dental x-rays in a while, your dentist may recommend that you take some during your preventive care appointment. Dental x-rays let us see what’s going on beneath the surface of your smile, giving us the ability to find issues that may not be visible otherwise. With x-rays, we’re able to make more accurate diagnoses and create more effective and efficient treatment plans.
Comprehensive Exam
Your dentist will review your x-rays and then take a thorough look at your teeth, gums, and the rest of your mouth. If we spot any issues, we’ll take the time to educate you on our findings, so you can keep your dental health on the right track. We make it our goal to keep you educated about your oral wellbeing, so you can make the right decisions for your smile.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Using the information we’ve gathered with your exam and x-rays, we’ll work together with you to craft a treatment plan customized for your unique oral health needs, budget, and lifestyle. If everything looks good, we’ll simply schedule your next routine cleaning and checkup.
Schedule Follow Up Appointment
Our team is here for you! No matter what kind of treatment you schedule, our team is standing by to answer any questions you may have about insurance, financing, or anything else. We’ll do everything possible to make sure your every visit is straightforward and stress-free.
Types of Preventative Dental Services Available in our Dallas Dental Office
DENTAL CLEANING
Regular teeth cleanings help get your smile on the right track. We’ll do everything we can to ensure your grin stays healthy and strong while keeping an eye out for any potential problem areas. For most patients, we recommend scheduling routine visits every six months so your dental hygienist can clean away any plaque, bacteria, or minor stains that may have built up since your previous visit.
ORAL CANCER SCREENINGS
As a part of every preventive care visit, we’ll perform an oral cancer screening. Catching oral cancer early on gives us a better chance at stopping it before it spreads and can even save your life.
During your exam, your dentist will examine your gums, tongue, and mouth, looking for abnormalities like lesions, lumps, and discolorations. If we discover any oral cancer symptoms, we’ll take a biopsy and send it to a specialist for a comprehensive analysis. Although oral cancer is relatively rare, it’s vital to be diligent about your oral hygiene routine and to regularly visit our office for cleanings and checkups so we can identify any potential problems before they become significant issues.
BAD BREATH TREATMENT
Did you know that bad breath can indicate a greater health concern? To keep your mouth healthy, consistently practice good oral hygiene daily and schedule regular dental exams.
However, if this doesn't do the trick, it may require further action from our Dallas dentist. Dr. Robotham will investigate what's causing those nasty smells & come up with tailored halitosis treatments (such as prescriptions, deep dental cleaning, and other bad breath remedies) to get your mouth back on track. Having clean teeth boosts confidence and keeps disease at bay, so don’t slack when looking after them!
