A Healthy Smile Starts With Regular Care
A healthy smile begins with regular dental checkups. At Your Total Dental & Orthodontics in Manor, TX, we make routine care easy, comfortable, and focused on your long-term oral health. These visits help catch small issues before they become bigger problems, keeping your teeth and gums in optimal condition.
What to Expect During Your Exam?
At your checkup, we thoroughly review your oral health to identify any potential concerns early on. Here's what you can expect:
- Medical History Review: We’ll update your health information and review any new conditions or medications that could impact your dental care.
- Oral Examination: We’ll carefully examine your teeth for any cracks, decay, or damage that may require attention.
- Gum Health Check: We’ll assess your gums and bone health for signs of gum disease, such as redness, swelling, or recession. If needed, we’ll discuss next steps to address any issues.
- Check Existing Dental Work: We’ll inspect any fillings, crowns, or other dental work to ensure they’re still in good shape and functioning properly.
Additional Services Offered During Your Visit
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays allow us to view what's happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. They help us detect hidden issues like decay or bone loss before they become major problems.
Oral Cancer Screening
We offer a quick screening to check for early signs of oral cancer. We carefully examine areas such as your lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, and neck for any unusual changes. Common warning signs include:
- Sores that don’t heal
- Red or white patches
- Lumps or thickened areas
- Persistent sore throat or hoarseness
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
Dental Cleanings
Even with regular brushing, plaque and tartar can accumulate over time. Our professional cleaning removes this buildup, polishes your teeth, and helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
