Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  As a new patient, your first visit to the dental office will include a dental exam, a professional cleaning, and X-rays. Part of becoming a new patient involves giving Dr. Badawy and his team a chance to get to know you better. This includes telling us about your dental history, but it also includes informing us of your oral health goals. By the time you leave our dental office, you should feel confident that you and your loved ones’ oral health is in good hands!
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  According to recent reports from the Oral Cancer Foundation, approximately 54,000 individuals are diagnosed with oral cancer every year. Out of these diagnoses, around 13,000 people will die in the U.S. alone from this condition. Dentists are in a unique position to catch this life-threatening disease before it has a chance to cause any harm, which is why routine visits are so important to your overall health. Our dental office will closely examine your mouth and neck for any signs of oral cancer and provide you the right channels for additional examination if needed.
