Dental Exams

Premier Dental of York Preventive Dentistry

Regular dental exams keep your teeth and gums healthy. They allow us to catch problems early. We look for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral issues. At Premier Dental of York, we focus on prevention and early detection.

During your exam, we check your teeth, gums, tongue, and jaw. We also look for signs of oral cancer. We use a small mirror and special tools to examine every surface. If needed, we take digital x-rays for a deeper look.

Why Exams Matter
Small issues can become big problems without regular care. Exams help prevent cavities, infections, and tooth loss. Likewise, we perform a quick, painless screening during each exam. Early detection of oral cancer can save lives. We also measure gum pockets and look for swelling or bleeding. Healthy gums protect your teeth and overall health.

Patient Education
We explain our findings clearly. We answer questions and give tips for brushing, flossing, and maintaining oral health at home. Every patient is different. We tailor exams and care plans to your unique needs and goals.

How Often to Schedule
Most patients need exams every six months. Some may need more frequent visits based on health history or risk. We provide dental exams for kids, teens, and adults. Early care helps children develop lifelong healthy habits.

Our Commitment to You
We offer gentle, thorough exams in a friendly setting. We listen, explain, and support your oral health journey. Protect your smile with regular exams. Contact Premier Dental of York today to schedule your next visit. Your health starts with your smile.
