Getting exams can help diagnose many diseases before they become hazardous to your child's health.

Not only is this the healthier route, but it can also be lighter on the wallet, which we know is important to you now more than ever. Call us today to find out what we can do for your child.

When you bring your child in to see us, we will evaluate him or her for the status of current restorations such as fillings if there are any, screen for the beginnings of oral cancer, evaluate oral growth and development, assess orthodontic needs, evaluate gum disease, and examine for tooth decay using x-rays to diagnostically see cysts, tumors, and other invisible tooth decay that can't be seen by the naked eye, as well as a host of many examinations.

Professional cleanings are another vital part of exams and check ups. The cornerstone of the prevention of gum disease and tooth decay is a regular cleaning schedule. Regular check-ups remove plaque, a sticky substance that forms in the mouth from food, saliva, and bacteria which causes gum disease and tooth decay, and they remove calculus, or tartar, above the gum line (though calculus below the gum line is usually an indicator of gum disease and requires a different procedure to for removal). We of course also polish and remove stains from teeth and help your child to develop good oral hygiene skills.

Be it oral cancer and other diseases or tooth decay and plaque build up, prevention can diagnose and treat warning signs rather than waiting until the problem may not be fixable; it's also a more financially sound decision.
