Exams

Patients of all ages should have dental exams at least once per year for comprehensive treatment. Dental exams might also be conducted as needed to assess tooth pain, trauma, or further localized concerns that might develop between checkups. Dental exams at our New York, NY office will begin by reviewing your dental record. At specific yearly checkups, x-rays may be performed to evaluate the health of your teeth and bone structures. We might also check for oral cancer, evaluate the alignment of your bite, and check your temporomandibular joints. A gum assessment will also be conducted to look for potential symptoms of periodontal disease. Having optimal oral hygiene practices (such as meticulous brushing two times per day and flossing daily) may help to minimize your likelihood of having cavities and gum disease.
