Dental Checkups – Oklahoma City, OK

Comfortable & Effective Oral Healthcare

The American Dental Association recommends that you see your dentist at least twice each year for a checkup. At your dental checkup in Oklahoma City, we will inspect your soft tissues for oral cancer, gum disease, and other problems. The dentist will also look at each tooth in your mouth to assess problems like decay or cracks, as well as assessing old dental work. Sometimes, old dental work wears out and needs to be replaced. We will be happy to replace metal fillings, inlays, onlays, and crowns with tooth-colored alternatives.

By looking for trouble every six months, we can often reduce your potential for large dental problems. For instance, if left untreated, a small cavity can grow to destroy an entire tooth and spread to surrounding teeth. A cracked tooth can cause pain or break off and create additional problems. Furthermore, advanced gum disease is the primary cause of tooth loss for American adults, and oral cancer causes more than 7,500 deaths each year. Caught and treated early, these diseases can be controlled.

If you have not scheduled a preventive dental checkup lately, be sure to call us now to make your appointment! Children as young as two should visit the dentist, and by age four or five, they should attend regular checkups.
