PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY
IN CORPUS CHRISTI
Preventive dental care is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it helps to prevent the development of dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. By taking good care of your teeth and gums, you can help to ensure that your mouth stays healthy and pain-free.
In addition to preventing dental problems, preventive dental care can also help to improve your overall health. Gum disease, for example, has been linked to a number of serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. By keeping your gums healthy, you can reduce your risk of developing these and other health problems.
Preventive dental care is also important for maintaining a healthy and attractive appearance. When your teeth and gums are healthy, you can feel confident when you smile and speak, which can have a positive impact on your social and professional life.
Overall, preventive dental care is a crucial part of maintaining good oral and overall health. By brushing regularly, visiting our office for regular cleanings and check-ups, and following a healthy diet, you can help to keep your mouth healthy for years to come.
A routine preventive care appointment typically involves a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. During the examination, the dentist or dental hygienist will look for any signs of problems such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer.
In addition to the examination, your preventive care dental appointment will also typically include a professional cleaning. This involves removing plaque and tartar from your teeth, as well as polishing your teeth to help them stay clean and healthy. The cleaning process may also involve flossing and applying fluoride to your teeth to help prevent cavities.
During your preventive care dental appointment, your dental hygienist may also take x-rays of your teeth. These images allow the us to see the inside of your teeth and check for any issues that may not be visible during a visual examination.
Overall, a routine preventive care dental appointment is an important part of maintaining good oral health. It provides an opportunity for a dental professional to examine your mouth and address any issues that may be present, as well as to provide professional cleaning and other preventive care services to help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
ORAL CANCER SCREENING & BIOPSIES
Dental biopsies are a dental procedure used to analyze suspicious tissue or growths in the mouth. During this procedure, a small piece of tissue is removed from the area and sent to a laboratory for further testing. The purpose of the biopsy is to determine if the suspect area is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Dental biopsies may be used to diagnose oral cancer and other abnormal tissue, such as tumors or cysts. The results from a dental biopsy can help your dentist plan the best treatment options for you.
