At Topsail Dental, we believe a healthy smile starts with more than just brushing and flossing. Regular dental exams and professional cleanings are key to maintaining long-term oral health—for you and your entire family.
Dental exams go beyond checking for cavities. Our team thoroughly assesses your teeth, gums, and mouth to:
Catch Problems Early: Many dental issues, like cavities, gum disease, or even oral cancer, can develop without noticeable symptoms. Routine exams allow us to detect these conditions early when they are easier and less expensive to treat. Early intervention can prevent more serious problems down the line.
Prevent Tooth Loss: Problems like untreated cavities or gum disease can lead to tooth loss. Regular exams give us the opportunity to catch these issues before they progress to the point where tooth extraction is necessary.
Assess Overall Health: Did you know that your oral health can reflect your overall health? Many systemic conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and even some types of cancer, can manifest symptoms in the mouth. Through your exam, we’re able to spot signs of these conditions and refer you for further testing if needed.
Create a Personalized Treatment Plan: Everyone’s teeth and gums are different, which is why personalized care is so important. Our dental team takes the time to understand your unique needs and concerns, offering tailored advice on how to maintain optimal oral health at home. Whether it's addressing a specific dental issue or simply enhancing your at-home care routine, your exam at Topsail Dental provides valuable insights.
Even the best at-home care can’t remove hardened tartar or reach every surface of your teeth. That’s where professional cleanings come in. Cleanings at Topsail Dental:
Remove Plaque and Tartar: Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth after eating and drinking. If not removed with regular brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. Tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, cavities, and other dental issues, so having it removed during your cleaning is essential.
Prevent Gum Disease: Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss, and it often develops without obvious symptoms. The early stages, known as gingivitis, can cause irritation, redness, and bleeding in the gums, but regular cleanings can prevent this from progressing into more severe periodontitis. Cleanings help keep your gums healthy and reduce the risk of gum disease.
Freshen Your Breath: Bad breath (halitosis) can be caused by a buildup of bacteria in your mouth. Regular cleanings remove plaque and bacteria that may cause unpleasant odors, leaving you with a fresher, cleaner mouth.
Polish and Protect: Cleanings at Topsail Dental not only help to keep your teeth healthy but also leave them looking shiny and polished. Plus, a thorough cleaning can make it easier for you to spot any issues with your teeth or gums that may need attention.
At Topsail Dental, we focus on your comfort and care. Our friendly, experienced team uses advanced technology in a welcoming environment to ensure a stress-free, effective visit—whether it’s your first appointment or your fiftieth.
