DENTAL EXAMS IN LAKEWOOD RANCH & BRADENTON, FL
Regular Dental Exams & Cleanings
Benefits of Regular Exams & Cleanings
North Lakewood Dental is a preventive-oriented practice. Our goal is to catch problems early so our patients can preserve their natural smiles and avoid costly restorative work later. When examining your x-rays and your teeth, you can expect our dentist to be conservative in recommending treatment. When treatment is needed, our goal is always to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.
- Cavity Prevention: Cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing can’t reach.
- Gum Health: Reduces the risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
- Early Detection: Spot potential issues before they require major treatment.
- Fresher Breath: Cleanings help eliminate odor-causing bacteria.
- Healthier Body: Oral health is closely linked to heart health, diabetes, and more.
- Cost Savings: Preventive care lowers the chances of needing costly procedures later.
How Exams & Cleanings Work
To maintain optimal oral health, we recommend patients have a comprehensive exam and a professional cleaning every six months. During your routine dental exam at North Lakewood Dental, we will check your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw for any signs of trouble, and take digital X-rays when needed. During a routine cleaning, plaque and tartar buildup will be gently, but thoroughly removed. We’ll also polish your teeth and provide personalized recommendations for at-home care to keep your mouth healthy between visits.
Please note: If you want both an exam and a cleaning, please be sure to specify that you want both when scheduling your appointment.
