Dr. Fisher will conduct a full-mouth
study including the use of x-ray films.
A
thorough dental examination includes inspection of the teeth, gums,
tongue, lips, inside of the cheek, palate, and the skin of the face and
neck, plus feeling the neck for abnormal lymph nodes and enlargement of
the thyroid gland. In adults a periodontal probe will be inserted
between the gums and teeth to detect abnormally large crevices. The
entire study will be documented and charted in detail.
Regular
check-ups can detect problems early. Routine teeth cleanings, bite
evaluations, periodontal examinations, early interventions, and
fluoride treatments can often avoid costly repairs. The frequency of
maintenance care (including calculus removal and x-ray examinations)
should be based on an assessment of the frequency of cavity formation,
the rate of calculus formation.
Dr. Fisher can take care of your dental
needs and with his guidance he will keep the annual cost of dental
health care to a minimum through a program of periodic hygiene
resulting in healthier teeth for you.
