Dental exams in Southern Utah University
If you are looking for an expert dental practice which will be able to provide you with all different types of dental care, then you will definitely want to become familiar with our practice, Corry Dental. At our dental practice our top-notch dentists are Dr. Doug Corry and Dr. Aaron Lewis. The most important thing you can do to make sure that your teeth and mouth stay healthy is to come to our practice for biannual dental visits. Our Southern Utah University dentist will provide you with a thorough dental checkup which will completely assess the health of your teeth and mouth.
During our comprehensive dental exam, our Southern Utah University dentist will recommend that a complete set of x-rays is taken if a certain time period has passed since your last set of x-rays. These x-rays will be able to show our dentist whether or not any problems are developing between the teeth or below the gum line. Our dentist will then thoroughly examine your teeth to make sure that there are no signs of any developing cavities, and that there are no signs of teeth grinding or other dental problems. Your mouth will also be thoroughly assessed for any signs of oral cancer.
As your dental exam continues, our Southern Utah University dentist will make sure that no bite problems are developing which can be caused by TMJ, teeth grinding, or other problems. A very important part of our dental exam is that your gums will be completely reviewed to make sure that you are not developing any signs of gum disease. If it is shown that you have gingivitis, a precursor to gum disease, our dentist will most likely recommend that you have several dental cleanings over the coming months to help your gums return to good health. If our dentist sees that deep pockets are forming between your teeth and gums, and that you have developed mild to moderate gum disease, it will be recommended that you have a scaling and root planing periodontal treatment. This treatment is like a deep cleaning for the gums and can be received from our dental practice. Scaling and root planing can be very effective in helping gums once again return to excellent health.
