Cleanings and Exams
Preventive care, including exams and teeth cleanings, is the cornerstone of dental health, and at Mowlajko Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, it's at the heart of what we do. Whether you are diligent about your dental checkups or it's been a while since your last visit, our team is here to support you, free from judgment or lectures.
The Power of Prevention in Dentistry
Regular dental exams and cleanings at our Anderson, SC, dental office are the foundation of a healthy smile for adults and children of all ages. These preventive services are critical for maintaining oral health, ensuring overall comfort, and saving costs in the long run.
Evidence has repeatedly shown a link between gum disease and systemic conditions, such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, stroke, and dementia. With the benefit of routine checkups, we can address periodontal disease early and help protect your overall health and well-being.
Your Dental Exam: A Comprehensive Approach
At Mowlajko Family Dentistry, we tailor the frequency of dental exams to your unique needs. Those with excellent oral health may require these appointments only once or twice a year; if you have a history of cavities and gum disease, we would likely recommend more frequent checkups.
A routine dental exam involves a thorough oral health evaluation. It starts with a conversation between you and our dentist about your current oral health and concerns or changes you’ve noticed since your last visit. We then check your teeth for cavities, signs of gum disease, and damage to existing dental work.
During your checkup, we use an intraoral camera to show you what we see to educate you on your dental health and empower you with the knowledge to maintain a healthy smile.
If Dr. Mowlajko finds a concern, he will provide recommendations, explain your options, and craft a personalized treatment plan to resolve it.
The Essential Role of Teeth Cleanings
Professional teeth cleanings are crucial for preventing the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. Our skilled hygienists use specialized instruments to check your periodontal health and remove the buildup your brush and floss miss.
Gum Disease: Early Intervention Is Key
If we find evidence of early gum disease called gingivitis, prompt treatment is crucial to safeguard your overall oral health. Left untreated, it can progress to advanced gum disease called periodontitis, which affects the structures that hold your teeth in place.
