Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, certain problems can only be identified with a professional evaluation. Dental exams allow us to:
✓ Spot early signs of tooth decay or gum disease
✓ Monitor for wear, damage, or shifting teeth
✓ Assess the condition of previous restorations (fillings, crowns, etc.)
✓ Screen for oral cancer and other health issues
✓ Track changes over time and adjust care plans accordingly
Early detection means easier, less invasive, and more affordable treatments.
Every visit is tailored to your specific needs, but a typical exam at Seaside Smiles may include:
✓ A thorough visual inspection of your teeth and gums
✓ Evaluation of any discomfort, sensitivity, or concerns you’re experiencing
✓ Discussion of your oral hygiene routine and any changes in your health or habits
✓ Collaboration with your dentist when additional treatment is needed
✓ Education on preventative care, products, and techniques
We take the time to explain what we see, answer your questions, and ensure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Most patients benefit from a dental exam every six months, though your schedule may vary depending on your individual needs. If you have ongoing dental concerns, a history of gum disease, or other health issues, we may recommend more frequent visits.
Adults – to maintain oral health and monitor restorations
Children – to track development and prevent cavities early
Seniors – to address age-related changes and denture care
Patients with health conditions – like diabetes or heart disease, where oral health plays a bigger role in overall wellness
Routine exams are for everyone. They’re simple, effective, and key to keeping your smile strong for life.
Don’t ignore the signs of tooth decay. Prompt treatment helps prevent more serious dental issues down the road.
