At Cavalier Family Dental, we hope that flossing and brushing are already part of our patient’s oral health routine, but there is much more to good oral hygiene than replacing your dental floss or toothpaste when you run out. Successful preventative dentistry is at the heart of what our
Canton Michigan dentist practices. Dr. Joseph Gondoly provides excellent dental service and is a firm believer that more frequent check-ups and cleanings avoid the need for expensive and difficult procedures in the future. Our goal is to prevent tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease before it develops, and the best way to avoid that is to practice proper oral hygiene at home and the best preventative dentistry by scheduling regular check-ups and cleanings with our Canton Michigan dentist.
Dental Checkups Canton
Booking an appointment with Dr. Gondoly for a comprehensive preventative evaluation is not only necessary for good oral hygiene but your medical health as well. Our
Canton Michigan dentist will explain how untreated gum conditions can lead to more serious health issues, since many health problems show their earliest symptoms in your mouth. Conditions such as diabetes, oral cancer, and even osteoporosis can be caught by your dentist before they become serious. Since the cause of gum disease is bacteria, if left untreated, gum disease can actually cause serious infections in other parts of your body as well. Regularly scheduled exams will actually save you money in the long run since detecting and taking care of simple problems, like dental cavities, early on, can avoid more serious procedures, like root canals or extractions, later on.
Once you’ve scheduled your preventative exam with Dr. Gondoly, dental x-rays will be taken with state of the art equipment. Your teeth will then be carefully checked for decay, broken fillings, fractures, and abnormalities. Our
Canton Michigan dentist will also perform a periodontal inspection of your gums and a cancer screening in your mouth. In addition, he will evaluate your bite and the movement of your jaw as well. During the exam, don’t hesitate to ask questions or express any concerns that you’ve noticed. Dr. Gondoly will want to talk about your oral hygiene routine so he can get a good idea of your dental health and discuss any necessary treatment plans for problems that might have been detected. Schedule your regular preventative check-ups and treatments, and you’ll be on your way to the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
