Dental Health Assessment
The team at Port Kennedy Central Dental Care can help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for life. Your home hygiene routines play a vital role in showing off a healthy smile. The other essential component is to have regular dental health assessments done. These checkups ensure that we catch any potential problems early. By doing so, they can be addressed straightaway so that they can’t develop into more serious issues that are costlier to treat.
What to Expect During Your Dental Health Assessment
When you come in for these periodic appointments, we will go through a comprehensive process that includes:
- An examination of each tooth
- An evaluation of your gum health
- A check for signs of disease such as oral cancer and gum disease
- A discussion of the appropriate home care routines or techniques
You’ll receive answers to any questions you have with thorough, understandable explanations from our team. If we determine that you can benefit from other treatments, we’ll tell you what we have found, which procedures may be appropriate and all costs involved. You can choose what you would like to do and feel fully informed.
