Preventive Dentistry
Even if you practice conscientious at-home oral hygiene, professional exams, and teeth cleanings are crucial for several reasons.
Enhances Home Hygiene
While brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining oral health, professional dental checkups provide care that even the best home routine can't duplicate.
Our experienced team uses advanced imaging technology and specialized tools to detect issues in their earliest stages—often before you notice any symptoms or discomfort.
Offers Comprehensive Care
During your checkups at Southeast Family Dental, we provide thorough examinations that go beyond cleaning teeth. We screen for oral cancer, evaluate your gum health, check your TMJ health, and remove hardened tartar that can't be eliminated through brushing alone. Our digital x-rays help us identify potential problems beneath the surface, such as decay between teeth, bone loss, or impacted teeth.
Protects Overall Health
Regular dental checkups also serve as an important window into your overall health. Many systemic conditions show early signs in the mouth, and our dentists can often identify these indicators during routine examinations.
