Your oral health matters. Even though you may not think about it very often, you regularly use your teeth, tongue, and mouth for actions like eating, speaking, chewing, and swallowing. Even though you may take your oral health for granted, there are serious problems that can arise if you do not care for your teeth. That is where we can help you. At Lovett Dental, we would rather prevent dental problems from developing than see our patients come to our office in discomfort for an emergency appointment. If it is time for another routine dental exam, count on us to help you. Contact Lovett Dental today at 832-804-7427 to learn more about our treatment options.

The Importance of a Regular Dental Exam

It is critical for you to stay on schedule with your dental exams. In general, you should come to our office every six months for a dental cleaning. In some situations, you may need to come to our office more often. For example, there may be patients with chronic dental conditions that require more frequent visits. If you are overdue for your next dental visit, the team from Lovett Dental will let you know. We understand that you have a lot to do every day, and you may not be able to keep up with your next dental visit. If it has been six months since your last dental visit, we will let you know.

Getting Ready for Your Next Dental Visit

If your next dental exam is coming up, you want to make sure that you are ready for it. Some of the things that you may need to do to get prepared for your next visit to our office include:

• If you have questions or concerns, make sure that you write them down ahead of time. That way, you don’t forget them when you come to our office.
• If you are coming to us from another dental provider, make sure you collect your dental records. If it is easier, you can fax them to us ahead of time. That way, you do not have to worry about forgetting them when you walk out the door.
• If you have questions or concerns about your toothbrush or dental floss, consider bringing that to us. That way, we can take a look and see if we have any other recommendations.

Our goal is to make you as comfortable as possible when you come to our office to see your general dentist. Taking care of these tasks ahead of time can help us do that.

During the Dental Exam

When you come to our office in Texas for a dental examination, several tasks will take place. It is our goal to get your teeth as clean as possible. To do that, we will brush your teeth, floss your teeth, and apply fluoride to them. Also, we will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth using specialized equipment.

Next, a dentist will take a close look at your teeth, looking for any signs of oral tooth decay. There may be situations where we need to take a dental x-ray. This action is essential for making sure that your teeth are straight and that there are no issues underneath the surface. If you are ever uncomfortable during the visit, let us know, and we will make you more comfortable.
