Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Your dentist may perform an oral exam during your routine dental visit to screen for oral cancer. Early detection means a greater chance for a cure. During an oral exam, your dentist looks for red or white patches, or mouth sores.
• X-rays
  What is a panoramic film? Panoramic films belong to the extraoral category of dental x-rays because the film is outside the mouth. The panoramic film provides to the dentist a good view of the maxilla and mandible as well as the whole dentition. Panoramic films also provide a partial view of the temporomandibular joint. One of the major advantages of the panoramic films is the short time required to acquire the image. Panoramic films are widely used by dentist because it provides a comprehensive “panoramic” view of the maxilla and mandible. It is commonly used for evaluation of the wisdom teeth or for the evaluation of potential fractures in trauma cases.[Figure 1]

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Your dentist or dental hygienist will perform the teeth cleaning. This involves removing the tartar that develops in areas difficult to reach with routine daily brushing.
• Fluoride Treatment
  In fluoride treatments, children and adults are given relatively high concentrations of fluoride. Your dentist will dry the teeth, then paint the fluoride on as a clear varnish. Your child can eat and drink immediately following the application of fluoride varnish. She should avoid crunchy foods like pretzels, and hot beverages like hot chocolate, for several hours to maintain a thin layer of fluoride on the teeth.

Restorative

• Crowns
  It is probably best that you do not go into great detail when you tell your child that he/she is returning for a filling. We recommend that you simply tell them they have “sugarbugs” that are making holes in their teeth and that the doctor will be using a special brush to chase the bugs away and then painting their teeth nice and white (or putting on a special crown, as the case may be).

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Some people find a standard night guard uncomfortable in which case your dentist can design a slimmer, Invisalign night guard. These guards are almost invisible and can double as daytime protection from discomfort caused by clenching or grinding of the teeth.
