| Another
way to prevent oral disease is by early detection and treatment.
During your checkup you will be screened for many potential threats
to your oral health, including:
In addition, some systemic diseases, such as diabetes, often present
themselves first inside the mouth, so early detection extends beyond
just oral disease.
Your dentist is
your first-line of defense against oral disease. At your check-up
he can evaluate your teeth and gums, both visually and with the
assistance of x-rays and other modern technology, to discover
threats to your oral or general health. Your dentist will review
the findings and advise you on any threats to your oral or general
health.
