24th Street Dental Biltmore

What should I expect in a dental exam?

A dental exam is a healthy once-over of your entire mouth, and our dental hygienists and dentists are looking for a variety of situations and conditions:

Oral Cancer Screening

A thorough review well be done and the earlier the detection, the better the treatment results.

Restoration Checkup

We’ll carefully inspect all prior dental restoration work done to ensure everything is in good working order and functioning properly.

Gum Inflammation

It can occur that pockets of space form between the tooth and gum which can allow bacteria to settle and multiply. In this case a thorough cleaning will be done in the area.

Cavities

Your Phoenix dentist can feel weak spots on your teeth, but X-rays allow for a more in-depth picture.

Dental X-rays

Part of a complete dental cleaning and examination in Phoenix is being able to see what the human eye can’t. The X-rays are safe and use ultra-low radiation; ask your dental specialist if you’d like more information on this.

Are you a little nervous at the dentist? Don’t be! We provide the most gentle dental cleanings and examinations in Phoenix. Your dental cleaning is where the magic happens:

Each tooth will be gently scaled (scraped) of tartar and plaque, which are calcium and bacterial build-ups that lead to tooth decay. Regular removal is essential to keeping a healthy mouth (and good breath, for that matter).
Once clean, your teeth will receive a buff n’ polish, leaving them feeling smooth and shiny. It tends to be everyone’s favorite part.

We’ve made ourselves the go-to place for dental cleaning in Phoenix. Call today to make an appointment!
