At Metropolitan Dental Associates PC, we don't just talk about how important it is to have a full dental exam every six months. We put our money where our mouth is. And that's why you can now get our dental exam in Broadway, which includes x-rays, a dental cleaning, periodontal exam, and an oral cancer screening all for just the low price of $99. Your oral well-being is our business and we think that no one should miss out on this vital tool in keeping your teeth, gums, and your entire mouth vibrantly strong and healthy. Our dental exams fit anyone's budget.
A complete exam begins with a physical and visual inspection of your teeth and gums. Problems such as loose teeth, loose fillings, or reddened gums can be found and addressed. X-rays give our dentist a close-up look at what's going on inside your teeth. If any cavities have formed, even small ones, they will be revealed. It's important that they be filled so that they don't grow even larger, leading eventually to a greater risk for an abscess, root canal therapy, and tooth extractions. If you do need a filling, this is not part of our special dental exam in Broadway, but our fees are reasonable for all procedures.
Your gums are an essential and sometimes overlooked part of your oral health, but with a periodontal exam, any indications of gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease, will be detected. If left unaddressed, periodontitis follows. But since gingivitis can typically be reversed with our dental cleaning, the next part of our dental exam in Broadway, you won't need to worry about that. Just be aware that the onset of periodontitis is generally too late for a dental cleaning to be effective. Getting one in a timely fashion also removes any plaque, tartar, and food particles that are left between teeth and in your gum pockets.
Last but not least, you may already be aware that early detection is linked with the best outcomes for any type of cancer, including those in your mouth. That's why our dental exam in Broadway includes a screening for oral cancer. Of course, if any concern is noted, you will be referred to an appropriate specialist for follow-up. Call us today and schedule yours.
