Dental Exams: When to Get One?
You should visit your dentist in Oxnard for an oral exam every six months. You may consult our doctors at Kane and Kerper Family and Cosmetic Dentistry for a recommendation as well. We will suggest the frequency of visits based on your dental health, such as genetic susceptibility, gum disease, cavities, or root decay.
What Happens in a Dental Exam?
The routine dental examination involves cleaning the teeth, scaling, and removing deposits like calculus and tartar. We will conduct an oral examination of your gums and teeth and identify any health problems. We may require an X-ray as well.
After the examination, your Kane and Kerper dentists in Oxnard will ask you questions about your dental care routine and provide treatment recommendations for optimal health.
