Why Get a Dental Exam?

Dental exams allow our doctors to evaluate the current state of your oral health and recommend further care and treatment for complications such as decay, infection, and gum disease. Getting regular exams is essential to early detection and the correction of these complications.

How Often Should You Get a Dental Exam?

In general, you should get a dental exam every six months. Your Wichita Family Dental doctor may recommend more frequent exams due to smoking, frequent decay, cavities, or gum disease.

What Can I Expect From a Dental Exam?

During a dental exam at Wichita Family Dental, one of our doctors will closely inspect your teeth and mouth for signs of decay, infection, or gum disease. They may take a detailed, digital x-ray of your mouth. They will go over this x-ray with you, explain what they see, and provide an accurate diagnosis in order to begin treating any problems. We can usually begin treatment that day or get you on the schedule to start at your convenience.

How Can You Prepare For a Dental Exam?

You should brush your teeth before you come in for your dental exam as that will remove food and plaque. Your hygienist and the doctor will ask you questions about your oral care. Please be honest about your current oral healthcare routine. We understand that many people avoid the dentist for financial reasons or because they experience dental anxiety. We are not here to judge you. We only want you to practice the best habits to ensure that your oral health is exceptional now and in the future.
