Dental Exam and Xrays

We believe in a detailed and careful approach to dental exams and X-rays, ensuring we thoroughly understand and address every aspect of your oral health. Moon Valley Dental is dedicated not just to resolving current dental issues but also to identifying and preventing potential future problems.

We do more than look at your teeth; we consider your overall oral health, from gum health to jaw alignment, as part of our commitment to your long-term dental well-being.

What Happens During Your Dental Check-Up?

During your visit, our team will:

  • Assess Overall Oral Health: We evaluate your oral hygiene practices and general health to tailor our care to your needs.

  • Risk Evaluation: We check for potential dental issues like cavities, root problems, or gum and bone diseases.

  • Dental Restoration Check: We inspect existing fillings, crowns, or other restorations and plan necessary updates or replacements.

  • Bite and Jaw Examination: We examine how your teeth align and how your jaws function.

  • Professional Cleaning: We remove any stains or deposits, leaving your teeth clean and fresh.

  • Oral Hygiene Guidance: Our team provides personalized advice on effective cleaning techniques for teeth or dentures.

  • Fluoride Assessment: We determine if fluoride treatments are needed for enhanced tooth protection.

Health History and Medication Review

Understanding your overall health and medication history is crucial, as these can impact your dental health. For instance, conditions like diabetes can increase gum disease risk, and certain medications might affect oral moisture, increasing the likelihood of dental problems.

Dental X-ray: A Closer Look Inside Your Mouth

Dental X-rays are vital for diagnosing hidden dental issues. They reveal the condition of your teeth, gums, and supporting bone structure. We offer various types of X-rays, including:

  • Bitewing: To examine the contact points between teeth.
  • Periapical: To view the entire tooth and surrounding bone.
  • Panoramic: For a comprehensive view of your entire mouth.

Oral Cancer Screening: A Crucial Part of Your Check-Up

We conduct thorough oral cancer screenings, examining your jaw, neck, and the inside of your mouth for any unusual signs or symptoms. This proactive approach is an essential part of safeguarding your overall health.
