Teeth cleaning in North Haven
Everyone should see their dentist and professional hygienist twice a year to get a dental exam and
teeth cleaning in North Haven. Dental exams are extremely important and go far beyond just looking to see if a patient has a cavity. A professional dentist like Azra Saleem, DDS will be able to tell much more about your health than if you have a cavity or not.
There is a great misconception that when you visit your dentist, she is only looking to see if you have cavities or not. Dental exams are extremely important and go far beyond detecting cavities. When you go to an experienced, professional dentist, she will do a thorough examination to get a complete picture of your oral health. All aspects of your oral health have to be checked so if there is a problem, it can be corrected or treated as soon as possible. Your dentist will do several screenings to see if there are any abnormalities in your mouth. When you go to a professional dental practice, a well-trained dentist, like Azra Salem, DDS will do a thorough evaluation which includes an oral cancer screening, a periodontal (gums) evaluation and even an evaluation of your occlusion (bite). She’ll also do a thorough evaluation of your teeth and supporting structures. If your dentist detects any oral health issues, she will then treat it or refer you to a specialist to get the problem treated. For example, if the dentist notices that you have an overbite, she may recommend that you see an orthodontist. If she notices, something serious like abnormalities in the mouth when doing a cancer screening, she will refer you to a specialist for further testing right away. Your oral health has a big impact on your overall general health. That is yet another reason why it’s so important to see your dentist to get a regular exam and to see your hygienist to get a professional teeth cleaning in North Haven.
