Dental Exams & Dental Cleanings
Taking care of your teeth is very important for your health. By visiting the dentist regularly for dental exams and dental cleanings, you can prevent costly appointments in the future. Brushing and flossing your teeth regularly will help you maintain a clean mouth and prevent plaque and gingivitis. Our dental team can help you detect problems early on when you visit us.
Schedule a routine dental exam at Fox Family Dental for the preventive care you need. We will conduct a thorough oral exam to get a clear picture of your overall dental health. We will also conduct an oral cancer exam to check for signs of cancer and spot them early. Our cleanings will help prevent tooth decay and disease in your teeth and gums by removing tartar and plaque build up. We can also protect your teeth with fluoride treatments.
All new patients must have x-rays taken or recent x-rays to review, in order for us to perform a complete examination and make a diagnosis. Decay and other pathologies can occur with no visible indication in the mouth, and waiting until pain develops usually means a small problem has now become severe and much more complicated and expensive to fix. Performing a comprehensive examination without consulting x-rays is considered malpractice, therefore all new patients must have a panoramic x-ray and a minimum of 4 bitewing x- rays or a full mouth series. The number of additional x-rays is based on individual needs.
You can trust the team at Fox Family Dental for the care you need. Contact us for the best dental services possible and we’ll meet your dental care needs. Our general dentistry services are available for you and the whole family.
