At My Family Dentist, your check-up is just not a quick peek to look for cavities. The dentist will review your current gum:

  • The dentist will review your current gum condition with the hygienist, to ensure any periodontal disease is being taken care of appropriately, and recommendations will be made, as required.

  • You will be assessed for cavities and broken fillings.

  • You will be assessed for any signs of abnormal wear and tear that may cause problems down the road, and recommendations will be made to correct any problems.

  • You will be assessed for any treatment options that may enhance your overall oral health and its function.

  • You will be assessed for any joint problems in your jaw.

  • Your x-rays will be reviewed.

  • Based on your personal oral health, the dentist will determine when the next appropriate will be to take x-rays.

  • You will be screened for oral cancer based on your risk factors.

  • Your recall status will be assessed to ensure you are on the right track to maintain your oral health.

  • And the dentist will still have time to answer any questions you may have!
