Frequently Asked Questions
What does a comprehensive dental exam include?
A comprehensive dental exam typically evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and oral tissues. Digital X-rays or other diagnostic information may also be recommended based on your individual needs.
How often should I have a dental exam?
Many patients receive dental exams approximately every six months, but the appropriate frequency depends on your oral health, dental history, risk factors, and treatment needs. Dr. Sahar Moeini can recommend a personalized schedule.
What is the difference between a dental exam and a dental cleaning?
A dental exam evaluates and diagnoses the health of your teeth, gums, bite, and mouth. A professional cleaning focuses on removing plaque, tartar, and surface buildup to help maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Do I need dental X-rays during every exam?
Not necessarily. The need and frequency of dental X-rays depend on factors such as your age, oral health, dental history, symptoms, previous X-rays, and risk for cavities or other dental conditions.
What happens if my dental exam finds a problem?
If Dr. Moeini identifies a concern, she will explain the findings and discuss appropriate treatment options with you. Recommendations are personalized according to your oral health, priorities, and long-term dental needs.
