Dental Exam Q & A

What is a dental exam?

Dental exams with the Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics team are oral health examinations your dentist completes to detect or rule out special dental problems. Examples include:

  • Tooth decay
  • Gum disease
  • Cracks, chips, or holes
  • Crooked teeth
  • Tooth infections
  • Other oral health problems

After a dental exam, your dentist might recommend further treatment as needed to prevent future problems, repair your teeth, or eliminate gum disease.

How often should I schedule dental exams?

Unless your dentist recommends additional visits because of a specific oral health problem, such as gum disease or frequent tooth decay, schedule a dental exam with Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics every six months – along with professional teeth cleanings.

What happens during my dental appointment?

When you arrive at Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics for your dental appointment, friendly staff members greet you. You relax in a comfortable dental chair while your provider reviews your oral health history. They might take dental X-rays before thoroughly cleaning your teeth to remove plaque and tartar in hard-to-reach areas.

During your dental exam, a Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics dentist examines your dental X-rays and evaluates your teeth and gums. They let you know if you have tooth damage, decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues requiring treatment. They offer:

  • Fluoride treatment
  • Sealants
  • Tooth-colored fillings
  • Crowns
  • Root canals
  • Orthodontics treatment
  • Gum disease treatment

Your dentist personalizes each treatment to strengthen your teeth, protect them from decay, and reduce the risk of complications in the future.

How can I care for my teeth at home?

Properly caring for your teeth at home includes good oral hygiene and dietary habits. Brush your teeth at least twice daily using fluoride toothpaste. Floss every day and don’t chew on ice, hard candy, or other hard objects. Use mouthwash if your dentist recommends it.

Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet but limit sweets, soda, and other sugary drinks. Wear a mouthguard at night if you’re a teeth grinder or if you play contact sports.

Keep your teeth, gums, and smile as healthy as they can be. Call the office at Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics for a dental exam or book an appointment online today.

How Often Should Children Have Dental Checkups?

It is recommended that children see a dentist twice a year or every six months. Sooner if there are any problems or pain.

How Often Should My Child Be Seen For Cleanings And Exams?

Twice a year, once every six months.
