Our team will take full-mouth x-rays to identify any dental problems and to create a baseline for future dental visits. We will evaluate the health of your teeth and existing dental work to ensure they are free of damage and assess the health of your gums. We'll also perform a head and neck exam and will conduct an oral cancer screening to rule out potential abnormalities.
At the conclusion of your appointment, we will discuss any current needs and preventive measures required to keep your smile in tip-top shape. We will create a personalized treatment plan for long-term oral health.
According to the American Dental Association, you should schedule dental visits at intervals determined by your dentist. In general, patients require twice-yearly exams and cleanings. However, some patients with a higher risk of developing dental problems may require more frequent appointments. Our team will evaluate your unique needs and recommend the ideal frequency of visits to maintain your healthy smile.
Yes! It is extremely important to care for your oral health, especially during your pregnancy. However, as a precautionary measure, we ask that you obtain a release from your doctor, clearing you to receive dental care.
Even if you don't have any symptoms of dental problems, your routine dental exams and cleanings are critical for maintaining optimal oral health. They help detect problems in their earliest stages before they produce symptoms and lower the risk of new tooth decay or gum disease. Maintaining proper oral hygiene at home and keeping up with your routine dental visits are the best ways to promote healthy smiles for life.
Most individuals require twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings. However, it is important to schedule an appointment between routine visits if you have signs or symptoms of dental problems. Problems can include tooth pain or sensitivity, red or bleeding gums, damaged dental work, persistent bad breath, persistent dry mouth, facial pain or swelling, a sore that won't heal, or any other concerns. Our team will evaluate your condition and recommend the best course of treatment.
If you have a dental emergency, we'll do everything we can to provide a same-day appointment. During normal business hours, please call 214-550-1945. If you need urgent or emergency dental care outside our office hours, please email sarah.parker@prosthobyparker.com.
However, if you or a loved one experience a life-threatening emergency such as uncontrolled bleeding or a fractured jaw, call 911 or head to your nearest emergency room.
