to performing diligent oral care at home, you should see your dentist every six months for an oral exam to ensure the continued health of your teeth and gums. If you skip just one routine checkup with your dentist, any new oral health issues can rapidly advance and require expensive and invasive treatments. Regular checkups ensure that problems can be caught early and treated conservatively, and some oral health issues can even be reversed if spotted in the earliest stages. If allowed to advance, however, these problems with your teeth or gums can actually spread beyond your mouth and affect your general health.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e361-22 ma1-0 ma1-4 ma1-8 ma1-a\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e361-23 ma1-d ma1-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e361-24 ma1-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e361-25 ma1-i ma1-k ma1-l ma1-m\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">The Mouth-Body Connection<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e361-26 ma1-r\">The state of your mouth can indicate problems in other areas of your body, so visiting your dentist every six months can help you maintain your overall well-being. A cavity, for instance, can advance to the center of the tooth and cause a localized infection. If not treated with root canal therapy, the bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause a serious systemic infection. Likewise, studies have proven a link between gum disease and health conditions such as diabetes, dementia and cardiovascular disease, so it pays to undergo routine checkups to spot gum disease in the early stages when it is reversible so that you can reduce your risk of other health problems.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e361-27 ma1-0 ma1-4 ma1-8 ma1-9\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e361-28 ma1-d ma1-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e361-29 ma1-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e361-30 ma1-i ma1-k ma1-l ma1-m\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Medical History<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e361-31 ma1-r\">At your first office visit for a comprehensive oral exam, your dentist will review your medical history with you. Knowing if you\u2019ve been diagnosed with certain medical conditions can help your dentist determine if you\u2019re susceptible to oral health problems or may experience a reaction to a particular dental treatment or anesthetic. The medications you take can also make you more vulnerable to developing cavities or periodontal disease. At each six-month checkup, be sure to let your dentist know if you have been diagnosed with a new health condition or changed your medication regimen to ensure that you continue to receive dental care tailored to your unique needs. Also, do not be afraid to tell your dentist if you have experienced anxiety over dental visits in the past so that he or she can present you with different options for making you comfortable during exams and treatments.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e361-32 ma1-0 ma1-4 ma1-8 ma1-a\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e361-33 ma1-d ma1-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e361-34 ma1-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e361-35 ma1-i ma1-k ma1-l ma1-m\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Conditions that Might Preclude You from Undergoing Teeth Whitening Include:<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-div e361-36 ma1-b\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e361-37 ma1-i ma1-m ma1-n\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Tooth decay<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e361-37 ma1-i ma1-m ma1-n\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">White spots on the teeth<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e361-37 ma1-i ma1-m ma1-n\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Infection of the gums<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e361-37 ma1-i ma1-m ma1-n\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Discolored teeth<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e361-37 ma1-i ma1-m ma1-n\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Sensitive teeth<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e361-37 ma1-i ma1-m ma1-n\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Certain types of dental work, including crowns and bridges<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e361-38 ma1-0 ma1-4 ma1-8 ma1-9\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e361-39 ma1-d ma1-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e361-40 ma1-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e361-41 ma1-i ma1-k ma1-l ma1-m\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Dental X-Rays<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e361-42 ma1-r\">If you have not undergone dental X-rays for some time, your dentist will obtain images of your teeth and jaws at your first appointment. The frequency with which you receive X-rays after that depends upon your dental history and risk of developing tooth decay. Dental X-rays can help detect cavities, tooth eruption issues or bone loss in the jaws.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e361-43 ma1-0 ma1-4 ma1-8 ma1-a\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e361-44 ma1-d ma1-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e361-45 ma1-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e361-46 ma1-i ma1-k ma1-l ma1-m\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Visual Examination<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e361-47 ma1-r\"><p>A visual inspection can help your dentist spot most oral health problems, including the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cavities:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>Using a tool to gently probe all tooth surfaces, your dentist can detect soft spots that may indicate decay. If caught early enough, which is often the case with patients who keep their regular checkup appointments, tooth decay can sometimes be reversed with a professional fluoride treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Periodontal Disease:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>Like cavities, periodontal disease is detected by using a dental probe. Your dentist will use this instrument to measure the spaces between your gums and teeth to determine if gum disease is present. If gum disease is spotted at its first stage, which is called gingivitis, it can usually be reversed with a professional teeth cleaning and an impeccable at-home oral hygiene routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oral Cancer:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>Affecting the lips, throat, head, neck and soft tissues inside the mouth, oral cancer has a high cure rate if caught early. Your dentist will visually inspect these areas for unusual sores, lumps or rough patches and palpate them to determine if swelling or tenderness is present.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jaw and Bite Issues:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>A misaligned bite can cause a host of problems with your teeth and jaws, including pain the jaw joints and teeth grinding. Stress can also cause you to grind your teeth and lead to jaw problems such as TMJ disorder. At your first comprehensive oral exam, your dentist will evaluate the way your teeth meet, check your jaws for signs of stress and inspect your teeth for damage caused by grinding to determine if further treatment is necessary.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e361-48 ma1-0 ma1-4 ma1-8 ma1-9\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e361-49 ma1-d ma1-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e361-50 ma1-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e361-51 ma1-i ma1-k ma1-l ma1-m\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Teeth Cleaning<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e361-52 ma1-r\">A professional teeth cleaning is recommended every six months, so you may want to combine your checkup and cleaning appointments for the sake of convenience. Your hygienist will begin your cleaning by removing tartar buildup with an instrument called a scaler to help prevent gum disease. After scaling, your hygienist will polish your teeth with a paste that contains mild abrasives to remove plaque and surface stains, leaving your teeth smooth and less likely to collect oral bacteria. If indicated, you may also receive a fluoride treatment that helps remineralize your tooth enamel and reduce your risk of developing cavities.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section
