What happens at a check-up
Your visit begins with a conversation: how you've been feeling, anything that's bothered you, and what you'd like your smile to be. We then take digital X-rays only when they're needed, screen for oral cancer, check every tooth and your gums, and look at how your jaw and bite work together.
A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, polishes away surface stains and leaves your mouth feeling genuinely clean. Before you leave, Dr. Raju walks you through what she found and what, if anything, to do next.
Preventive care that pays for itself
Most dental problems are quiet until they're expensive. Regular exams catch cavities while they're small, gum disease while it's reversible, and wear patterns before a tooth cracks. Fluoride treatments and sealants add extra protection for children and adults prone to decay.
