Recall Exams
Stay Ahead of Your Oral Health
Regular recall exams are an essential part of maintaining your oral health. At What a Smile Dental Hygiene Clinic, our recall exams are designed to monitor your dental and gum health over time, allowing us to catch potential issues early and provide the care you need to keep your smile in its best condition.
What Are Recall Exams?
Recall exams are periodic dental check-ups that help ensure your teeth, gums, and overall oral health remain in optimal condition. These exams are a proactive way to detect and address oral health problems before they develop into more serious concerns.
During a recall exam, our dental professionals thoroughly assess your oral health and provide preventive care recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
What to Expect During a Recall Exam
- Comprehensive Evaluation:
- Assessment of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues to identify any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues.
- Examination of any previous dental work, such as fillings or crowns, to ensure their integrity.
- Oral Cancer Screening:
- Checking for any abnormalities or early signs of oral cancer, as part of our commitment to your overall health.
- Review of Oral Hygiene Routine:
- Discussion of your current at-home care routine and personalized advice for improvement.
- Preventive Care Recommendations:
- Recommendations for treatments like sealants, fluoride applications, or additional cleanings, based on your individual needs.
