Keep Your Teeth Clean and Healthy with Regular Dental Exams

Dr. Hikmat Hannawi, and other top-notch Attleboro, MA dentists, don’t just use advanced dental technology for complex procedures like root canals and wisdom teeth extractions, they also use it for routine care such as dental exams. Some examples are:

What to Expect During First Dental Cleaning and Exam?

• DIAGNOdent cavity detectors, which use laser fluorescence to help us find cavities in their earliest stages, when they are small and simple to treat.
• VELscope, a handheld tool that identifies tissue abnormalities that can be an early indicator of oral cancer. Early detection is key, because the five-year survival rate for oral cancer that doesn’t spread to other areas of the body is 83 percent. The number drops dramatically if the cancer spreads.

Dental Cleanings Are Key to Oral Health

You’ll walk out of our Attleboro, MA dental office with teeth that look and feel terrific, thanks to the thorough dental cleaning you’ll receive during your dental exam. We’ll remove plaque from in between teeth, around the gumline, and other areas that can be tough to reach with a toothbrush and floss at home. Plaque contains bacteria that can build up and cause tooth decay and gum disease.

Dr. Hikmat Hannawi can supplement your dental cleaning with preventive treatments like dental sealants and applications of fluoride. We often use them to protect children’s teeth, but they work well for adults with certain conditions too.
