For a better understanding of what’s going on and why we ask for your commitment, consider a quick Q&A session.
Questions and Answers: Checkups
Question: How does it help my oral health if you are just looking at my teeth?
Answer: First, it’s significant that you realize a dental checkup is multifaceted. In addition to looking at your oral tissues with our eyes, we will gather more information with dental instruments. We will also take digital X-rays for a behind-the-scenes understanding of what’s going on with your mouth and oral health.
Question: Why do I need a dental checkup even when my smile feels perfectly fine?
Answer: You need a checkup because problems do not always bring along obvious symptoms that you will notice. Or, by the time symptoms show up, the problem has already become serious. We have the technology to detect the presence of an oral health issue in the earliest phase of development, so we can stop the problem immediately.
Question: Is a dental checkup comfortable?
Answer: Yes. We offer patients comfortable checkups by using gentle techniques and offering a compassionate approach in all that we do.
