Why are Regular Dental Checkups Important?

There are several reasons why regular dental checkups are essential:

• Preventative care: Early detection of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns can save you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
• Oral cancer screening: Dr. Laith Dawood will perform a thorough oral cancer screening during your checkup, allowing for early detection and treatment if necessary.
• Maintaining a healthy smile: Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone cannot reach. This helps prevent gum disease and keeps your smile bright and healthy.
• Overall health: Oral health is linked to overall health. Regular dental checkups can help identify potential health concerns like diabetes or heart disease.

What Happens During a Dental Checkup at Nebo Dental Centre?

A dental checkup at Nebo Dental Centre typically involves several steps:

• Medical history review: Dr. Laith Dawood will discuss your medical history to understand any potential risk factors or medications that might impact your oral health.
• Dental examination: Dr. Laith Dawood will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, tongue, and throat. He will check for any signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, or other concerns.
• X-rays (if necessary): Depending on your individual needs, digital X-rays might be taken to provide a more detailed view of your teeth and jawbone.
• Teeth cleaning: A dental hygienist will perform a professional cleaning, removing plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. This cleaning will leave your teeth feeling smooth and refreshed.
• Treatment recommendations: Dr. Laith Dawood will discuss any findings from the examination and recommend any necessary treatments, such as fillings, fluoride treatment, or further consultations with specialists.
