The American Dental Association recommends that individuals have a dental exam and cleaning every six months. Doing so prevents dental problems before they become severe and identify underlying issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. Additionally, a visual and physical oral cancer screening detects early signs of oral cancer, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your oral health is being taken care of.
So, if you’re ready to take the first step towards achieving total dental wellness, call Avery Dental Wellness today to schedule your dental exam and cleaning with Dr. Emily Dennison and her compassionate team.
Prevention is key to maintaining good oral health. That’s why we offer comprehensive dental exams and cleanings in Dublin, OH.
Regular appointments with our experienced and knowledgeable dentist, Dr. Emily Dennison, can help prevent these dental problems before they become serious:
Our comprehensive exams and cleanings can help prevent gum disease by removing bacteria and buildup that can contribute to this condition. Additionally, our dental hygienists can provide education and tips on proper brushing and flossing techniques to help keep your gums healthy between appointments.
Halitosis, or bad breath, can be caused by poor oral hygiene, gum disease, and certain medical conditions. Regular exams and cleanings can help prevent bad breath by removing bacteria and buildup that can cause odor.
Tooth loss is a serious dental problem that can be caused by various issues, such as gum disease, decay, and trauma. By taking preventative measures, we can help preserve your natural teeth and prevent the need for extractions or other dental treatments.
Pregnant women with gum disease are at a higher risk of premature birth and low birth weight babies.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is a modern approach to dental cleaning that aims to remove all traces of bacterial biofilm and stains from teeth, thus promoting optimal dental health. The therapy involves a series of procedures and technologies providing a non-invasive, efficient, and comfortable patient experience.
Here are some of the benefits of Guided Biofilm Therapy for dental health:
Biofilm is a layer of bacteria that forms on teeth and gums, leading to gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental problems. GBT uses air polishing technology to remove biofilm, which is much more efficient than traditional cleaning methods such as scaling and polishing. This means that patients are less likely to experience dental problems in the future.
Air polishing technology uses air, water, and fine powder to remove biofilm and stains from teeth. This process is gentle and non-invasive, making it more comfortable for patients. It also means that patients are less likely to experience sensitivity or discomfort during and after the procedure.
The air polishing technology used in GBT is much quieter than traditional cleaning methods, which can be loud and uncomfortable for patients. It is also less likely to cause discomfort or pain, particularly important for patients with sensitive teeth or gums.
The technology used in GBT can clean teeth much more quickly and thoroughly than traditional methods. Therefore, patients spend less time in the dentist's chair and are more likely to have cleaner, healthier teeth and gums.
Oral cancer is a condition that affects thousands of people every year. Oral cancer is cancer that develops in the mouth’s tissues, including the lips, gums, tongue, and throat. It can be life-threatening if not detected and treated early on.
Several factors can increase your risk of developing oral cancer, including tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, and exposure to the human papillomavirus (HPV). Additionally, people over 50 are at a higher risk of developing oral cancer.
Oral cancer screenings are a crucial part of comprehensive dental exams and cleanings. These screenings involve a visual and physical examination of the mouth, tongue, and throat to detect any early signs of oral cancer. By catching oral cancer early on, we can significantly improve your chances of successful treatment and overall prognosis.
By attending regular dental exams and cleanings with Dr. Emily Dennison, you can take a proactive approach to your oral health and detect any potential issues, including oral cancer, before they become serious. Here’s what you can expect from our oral cancer screening process:
Dr. Emily Dennison visually examines your mouth, tongue, and throat to check for any signs of oral cancer. This includes looking for red or white patches, sores, or lumps in the tissues.
In addition to the visual examination, Dr. Emily also performs a physical examination of the tissues in your mouth, tongue, and throat using a special tool to feel for any abnormalities or suspicious growths.
By following these simple tips, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing oral cancer and enjoy better overall oral health:
