While good oral hygiene begins at
home, it’s essential to schedule preventive dental care as well. A custom
schedule is developed based on a thorough evaluation. Preventive care helps
ensure the teeth, gums, jawbone, dental work, muscles, jaw joints, and soft
tissue are in good condition and helps identify any oral health issues.
If you’re ready to get the preventive care needed for a healthier smile, schedule an appointment with Red Bank Smiles today.

Our Preventive Care Services

When you visit Red Bank Smiles for a preventive visit, we’ll
conduct a thorough exam to assess your oral health. During your appointment,
you can expect the following:

• X-rays and photos: Captured in a number
  of positions both inside and outside the mouth, these images can reveal what
  might not be visible during a visual inspection.
• Physical exam: The teeth, gums, jaw
  joint, supporting muscles and soft tissue will be inspected.
• Oral cancer screening: You will be
  checked for bumps, sores, red or white patches and other abnormalities.
•  Sleep
  apnea screening: There are common symptoms of this condition, such as worn
  teeth from grinding, cavities and irritated gums.
• Cleaning: A scaler will be used to scrape
  away buildup before an electric brush and gritty paste polish the teeth. 

After your teeth and mouth have been examined, we’ll explain any
findings and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits
your financial needs and prioritizes the most conservative methods possible to
maintain or restore good oral health. 

Preventive Dental Care for Kids

Many of the same steps are involved in children’s preventive care
as well, although in general fewer X-rays will be required. Children should receive
their first preventive dental care by their first birthday or at the eruption
of their first tooth. The team at Red Bank Smiles will do everything we can to
make your child’s exam a positive, fun experience.
