Dental Checkups with Dr. Grubb

If you want to keep your smile healthy and beautiful for life, it’s essential to visit our practice for dental checkups at least twice a year. During these checkups, one of our hygienists will clean and polish your teeth to eliminate plaque and tartar, leaving you with a sparkling smile.

Though brushing and flossing at home is a great way to keep your teeth clean, bacteria often builds up in areas of your mouth that are hard to reach. Thankfully, we can use our special dental tools to thoroughly clean your smile and protect your health.

We’ll also take detailed x-rays of your entire mouth and examine them for any issues that could threaten your health. This allows us to detect problems that may not be visible with the naked eye.

While it may seem like missing a dental checkup is no big deal, neglecting these regular visits will affect your long-term health. By visiting us every six months, you reduce your risk of harmful conditions like gum disease, cavities, oral cancer, and more. Not to mention, you’ll save time and money over the long term by avoiding these issues in the future.

Oral Cancer Screening

Every year, over 10,000 Americans die from oral cancer. As with many deadly diseases, early detection is key to providing effective treatment. That’s why we include oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental checkups.

By checking every six months, you can stay ahead of oral cancer and ensure it never has time to spread far. This can help you live a longer and healthier life, in addition to providing you with peace of mind.

Periodontal Care

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an oral infection that results from a buildup of plaque in your gum tissue. It’s the leading cause of tooth loss among adults.

When you visit us for a dental checkup, we’ll inspect your gums for any indication of periodontal disease. As long as it’s treated quickly, gum disease is relatively easy to reverse. That’s why it’s important to keep scheduling these checkups and be aware of the warning signs.

If your gums are red and swollen, or if they’re bleeding easily, schedule an appointment with us right away. We’ll use scaling and root planing therapy to remove plaque from above and below your gumline. This will eliminate your infection and protect you from further health issues.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

If you don’t have good oral hygiene habits at home, or if you neglect to visit Dr. Grubb for regular checkups, you have a good chance of developing cavities. Cavities are small holes in your teeth that result from plaque wearing down your enamel.

If you have a cavity, we can restore the strength and appearance of your tooth with a customized filling. Our fillings are designed to match the exact shade of your teeth for a natural-looking appearance. They’re also highly durable to ensure long-lasting results.
