AT OTAY LAKES DENTAL ARTS
DENTAL CLEANING
During a dental cleaning, we will remove all plaque from your teeth and gum line and will remove stains from your teeth as well. After cleaning your teeth, Dr. Miller will thoroughly examine and evaluate your teeth, gums, jaw, and mouth.
Our experienced dentist will conduct any or all of the following dental exams and evaluate your dental condition:
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Gum Disease Evaluation
- Visual Examination of Tooth Decay
- Examination of Diagnostic X-rays
- Evaluation of Status of Current Restorations
DENTAL EXAMS
Regular dental exams are just as important as seeing a dental hygienist! The frequency of examinations should typically be between 6 – 12 months. However, this schedule will be individualized to meet your personal oral health needs based on factors such as your history of cavities, gum disease, and other oral conditions. Everyone has unique dental needs, and at Otay Lakes Dental Arts, we customize a treatment plan to meet yours.
During your dental exam, our doctors will look for any oddities and oral health issues and address them before they can create more severe problems down the line. Your doctor will take digital x-rays of your teeth to ensure not to miss the issues that aren’t easily spotted with the naked eye.
