Dental Exams to Maintain a Healthy Smile

Dr. Demian conducts thorough dental exams at Camas Dentistry that go beyond a quick look-see. He starts by asking how you are and if you have noticed any oral health changes since your last visit.

What Are Your Current Dental Needs?

Do your gums bleed when you brush? Do you have a tooth that’s particularly sensitive to hot or cold temperatures? By talking about these issues, we get a clearer understanding of your dental needs and how we can best help you.

Your Comprehensive Dental Exam

Dr. Demian then examines your teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw. He checks for signs of decay, gum disease, worn or broken teeth, oral cancer, and other oral health concerns. At Camas Dentistry, we use intraoral cameras that magnify these issues, making for more efficient and accurate diagnoses. They are also an excellent educational tool because you can see what our dentist sees to better understand your oral health needs and make informed treatment decisions.

If he detects any issues, he will work with you to create a personalized plan to address them. He makes recommendations, explains your options, and tailors treatment to your needs and preferences.

Why Routine Teeth Cleanings Matter

Routine teeth cleanings at our Camas, WA, dental office are essential. You can remove a lot of plaque with regular at-home oral hygiene, but tartar clings stubbornly to your teeth no matter how much you brush and floss. If not removed regularly, plaque and tartar increase your risk for gum disease, which can threaten your oral health and overall wellness.

Fortunately, our skilled hygienist can easily eliminate tartar buildup using specialized instruments. This process ensures that your teeth are thoroughly clean and your gums are healthy. We offer routine teeth cleanings every six months, periodontal maintenance, and deep cleanings, also called scaling and root planing.

One of the benefits of choosing Camas Dentistry is that we take time to build relationships. We want you to feel confident entrusting your care to us and know that your individualized treatment plan considers all your unique needs.

Our focus on patient education also helps you better understand your oral health and how to maintain it. By explaining your treatment options in detail, we can help you make informed decisions about managing your dental needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to see the dentist?

The typical recommendation for dental visits is every six months. However, at Camas Dentistry, we tailor the frequency of these appointments to fit your individual needs.

Understanding the Guidelines for Dental Checkups

For many, appointments every six months are ideal and allow for routine cleanings and comprehensive exams. These regular visits help you maintain good oral health by catching potential issues early and ensuring your teeth and gums are healthy.

However, if you don't have cavities, gum disease, or a history of oral health problems, Dr. Demian may recommend less frequent checkups.

Risk Factors That Affect Frequency of Dental Visits

Certain conditions or circumstances indicate the need for more frequent dental checkups.

Dental history — A history of gum disease, cavities, or other dental issues might warrant closer monitoring.
Risk factors — Habits like smoking, a diet high in sugars, or certain health conditions can increase your risk for cavities and gum disease.
Age — Children and seniors might need more frequent visits to monitor developmental changes and age-related dental concerns.
Oral hygiene habits — Additional visits might be beneficial if you struggle with maintaining a consistent and effective at-home dental care routine.

Personalized Dental Care in Camas, WA

Our commitment at Camas Dentistry is to provide tailored dental care. We understand that everyone's dental health is different, so we work with you to determine the best frequency for your appointments.

If you have questions about scheduling your next routine checkup, please call us, and our team will be happy to assist you. We proudly serve Camas, Washougal, Vancouver, and all surrounding communities.

How often should I get a dental cleaning?

Most adults should schedule professional dental cleanings every six months to maintain optimal oral health. However, we may recommend more frequent visits based on oral health needs.

Why Regular Teeth Cleanings Matter

During these essential visits, our skilled hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't. Professional cleanings brighten your smile and help prevent serious dental issues like cavities and gum disease.

Personalized Cleaning Schedules

At Camas Dentistry, we understand that every patient's oral health needs are unique. Certain factors, such as a history of gum disease, diabetes, or excessive tartar buildup, may indicate the need for more frequent cleanings. Some patients with excellent oral hygiene and minimal risk factors might maintain oral health with annual cleanings, though this is less common.

Your Ideal Teeth Cleaning Schedule

Your personalized cleaning schedule depends on factors we'll evaluate during your visit to our Camas, WA, dental office. We consider your home care routine, dental and medical history, and current oral health status to recommend the most appropriate cleaning frequency.

Schedule Your Next Dental Cleaning

Why Dental Cleanings Are Essential for Long-Term Oral Health

Routine dental cleanings and oral exams are simple yet powerful tools for achieving the beaming smile of your dreams ...

General Dentistry Technology

Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays provide sharp, clear images to give our dentist an in-depth understanding of your oral health. The clarity and detail of digital x-rays help with the early detection of issues we can’t see with a visual exam alone. Because of the quality of these images, we can share them with you so you feel more informed about your oral health needs.

Another benefit of digital x-rays is that they expose you to significantly less radiation than traditional film methods. The speed of digital sensors that capture the images also means faster appointments and less waiting time. And there's no need for chemical processing, making digital x-rays a more eco-friendly option.

Panoramic X-Rays

Panoramic x-rays are unique because they provide a comprehensive view of your entire mouth in a single image. Unlike traditional dental x-rays that zoom in on a specific area, this technology captures your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, temporomandibular joints, and surrounding structures.

This wide perspective helps our dentist plan treatments such as root canals and wisdom teeth extraction for more precise and efficient results. Pano x-rays are also useful for detecting cysts, tumors, and jawbone abnormalities.
