one of our treatment coordinators

is damaged, a filling can be

inadequate in the long-term

Put your child to bed with WATER only NEVER milk or juice

The Dental Exam

It’s more that just a “check-up”

Your dentist will look at many things during your exam.

Your dentist reviews:

Your medical history

Conditions or medication that could impact your dental health or how we care for you

The condition of your teeth: decay, failing restorations, unusual wear

Other things we look for:

Your gums – to look for periodontaldisease which could lead to tooth loss

Your soft tissue to rule out cancer or irregular growths

“Why do I need x-rays?”Dental x-rays allow your dentist to see

a multitude of things that can’t be seen with direct vision.

A few examples are:Decay between your teeth or below your fillings

Bone loss from gum disease

Infections, cysts and tumors in your jaw bone

Developmental abnormalities

Low Exposure

on the top and bottom?”

for aesthetics, we cannot compromise

your dental health to achieve this.
