In addition to healthy oral hygiene and diet habits, Dr. Tomasik believes regular exams are essential to help identify potential issues before they become painful or problematic. Dr. Tomasik and our staff will closely monitor your oral health at six-month checkups and cleanings. We can help you avoid big-problem dentistry by finding and treating problems in their earliest stages.

 

Some of the potential issues include:

1. Tooth decay: The 2nd most prevalent disease in the world behind the common cold can lead to pain, discomfort, and the need for restorative procedures.

2. Periodontal (gum) disease: The primary cause of tooth loss in adults over 35, gum disease affects over half the adult population in the U.S.

3. Fractures: Hairline fractures often go undetected until the tooth completely breaks, causing pain and the need for invasive procedures.

4. Oral cancer

 

We personalize every exam to fit our patients unique needs and concerns and include:

• An oral assessment

• A complete periodontal (gum) assessment

• Oral cancer screening

• Dental assessment for fractures and decay

• Thorough cosmetic assessment (if desired)
