Your Next Checkup at Dental Care of Waldorf

When you arrive for your next scheduled checkup at Dental Care of Waldorf, here is what you can expect:

• Dental Exam: During your checkup, a friendly member of the Dental Care of Waldorf team will perform a thorough oral examination. This will provide us with a full assessment of your overall health and well-being. A team member will check your teeth for signs of cavities and damage, including missing or broken fillings, crowns, or bridges. We will also check your gums, lips, cheeks, and tongue for signs of infection or disease.
• Cleaning: Even with good at-home care, you need additional help keeping your smile healthy. A cleaning every six months can help keep your teeth strong, healthy, and free of plaque. Bacterial plaque builds up on your teeth and tooth roots over time, causing decay and gum disease. Having your teeth cleaned regularly is the best way to prevent gum disease and keep your breath fresh.
• Digital X-Rays: We use digital X-rays to assess the condition of your teeth beneath the gum line. This helps us understand your overall oral health and make accurate treatment recommendations as needed.
• Oral Cancer Screening: Early detection is a key component in the fight against cancer. Regular oral cancer screenings can help you understand your risk of developing cancer. We perform screenings during checkups to look for signs of cancerous and precancerous conditions.
