Periodic Exams
Periodic exams are not only necessary to ensure your oral health, but they can prevent other major diseases like arthritis, diabetes, heart problem, etc. Going to the dentist for routine check-ups will not only prevent you from acquiring any severe oral issues, but also play a huge role in your overall health. Your dentist can help teach you the proper ways to have optimal oral health and give you guidance on what products to use with you at home oral hygiene regimen.
What happens during periodic exams?
When you come to Minty Fresh to get your regular periodic check-ups, we perform the following to ensure your oral health.
- Comprehensive exams: This is essential to maintain a healthy smile. Our dentists will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and other orofacial structures.
- Digital X-rays: Digital radiography is a form of radiography that uses x-ray–sensitive plates to capture data during the patient examination directly. X-rays allow our dentists to make a more in-depth diagnosis.
- Teeth Cleaning: During your routine examination, we will also clean your teeth throughout the gum lines to eliminate plaque build-up, tartar, and stains. Having your teeth cleaned by our expert hygienists will prevent periodontal (gum) disease that can cause major dental problems, including losing teeth.

Other Benefits:
Another benefit of the routine exam is that you will get an Oral Cancer Screening by our dentist. Detection of cancers at an early stage can help patients get rid of the disease or take immediate medical care. A soft tissue exam would be conducted on the mouth and tongue floor to see any abnormal tissue growth.
Periodontal assessment is another benefit during your periodic exams. Periodontal screenings also check your gingiva for any signs of gum disease. It is important to detect it in its earliest stages, as periodontal disease is a fundamental cause of tooth loss.
