Dental Exams
At O’Shea Family Dental, we believe dental care should be simple, stress-free, and something you actually look forward to. Whether it’s your child’s first checkup or your own routine dental exam, we’re here to make every visit feel like a visit with family.
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
Don’t worry—there’s nothing scary here! A dental exam is all about keeping your mouth healthy and catching little problems before they become big ones. Here’s what we typically check during your visit:
- Your teeth and gums: We look for cavities, signs of gum disease, and anything unusual.
- X-rays (as needed): These help us spot things we can’t see with the naked eye, like decay between teeth or issues under the gums.
- Oral cancer screening: Quick, easy, and super important.
- Cleaning recommendations: We’ll give you personalized advice for keeping your teeth in great shape at home.
Why are Dental Exams so Important?
Skipping your dental exam is like skipping oil changes for your car—it might not seem urgent, but it can lead to expensive problems down the road! Regular checkups help with the following:
- Catch decay early (before it hurts or gets costly)
- Keep gums healthy and prevent gum disease
- Maintain fresh breath and a clean smile
- Track any changes over time
Our Family-Friendly Approach
We get it—bringing the whole family to the dentist can feel like a task. That’s why we make our exams quick, gentle, and even fun (yes, fun!). We treat kids with patience, adults with respect, and grandparents with extra TLC.
How Often Should You Come in for Dental Exams?
We generally recommend visiting twice a year for dental exams. Everyone’s mouth is different, however. We’ll let you know if you need more frequent checkups based on your unique smile.
