Something many people don’t understand about dentistry is that by the time a patient experiences pain, the problem has probably already progressed significantly. Issues such as cavities take a long time to become truly painful. That means that if you “wait for a problem” to come in for a check-up, you are essentially allowing problems to reach their most damaging, expensive stage!

By scheduling a dental check-up every 6 months, our dentists are able to spot small issues before they develop. This saves the health of your enamel, which is irreplaceable, and keeps your expenses to a minimum. It also keeps you out of the dentist’s chair for invasive procedures—with good oral hygiene and regular checkups, you should never need a root canal or dental implant (barring any accidents.)

Salisbury Family Dentistry is committed to making your check-ups as quick and thorough as possible. Your dental exam will include the following:

• Dental X-Rays: An essential procedure that helps us detect tumors, cysts, tooth decay, and bone loss.
• Oral Cancer Screening: Your dentist will check your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
• Gum Disease Evaluation: Your dentist will examine your gums and jawbone for any signs of periodontal disease.
• Examination of Existing Restorations: We will check fillings, crowns, or implants you may have had to ensure they are still performing as expected.
• Professional Dental Cleaning: We will remove the plaque and tartar that you may have difficulty removing at home. Learn more about our dental cleaning services
