Step Up Your Dental Care with Regular Dental Check-ups and Cleanings
If you brush and floss regularly, pat yourself on the back! These habits are your smile’s first defense against decay, gum disease, and other issues. Still, you need the help of a dentist to detect and treat dental problems that may have escaped your notice at home. Farhoumand Dentistry is excited to offer regular dental exams and cleanings to patients in Tysons Corner, Virginia, and the nearby locations. Schedule your dental visit today, and take the first step towards a healthy, beautiful smile.Â
What happens during a dental exam?
Your dental check-up at our Tysons Corner office involves thoroughly inspecting your oral tissues. We also integrate technology to detect dental issues even before symptoms manifest. First, the dentist visually inspects every tooth, gum, tongue, and other structures to look for signs of infection, decay, and other irregularities. The dentist also inspects your crowns, fillings, dentures, etc., for signs of wear and tear.Â
Our visual exams are detailed, but not every dental issue manifests on the surface. Our dentist will recommend dental X-rays to uncover interdental decay, tooth impaction, bone loss, infections, and other problems not visible to the naked eye. A dental exam in our office isn’t a cursory look—we are thorough, ensuring we leave nothing to chance.Â
We’ll explain the results once your exam is complete and present recommended treatment options. We aim to ensure you feel informed and confident about your oral health journey.
I maintain good oral hygiene at home, so why do I need a dental cleaning?
While daily brushing and flossing are essential, they only go so far in protecting your oral health. Your dental floss and toothbrush can’t reach every surface in your mouth. As a result, dental plaque builds up and multiplies, causing many problems. Dental cleanings in Tysons Corner, Virginia, remove unhealthy deposits from areas your home tools can’t reach. Once we clean your teeth, we polish them with gritty toothpaste, leaving your smile as good as new.Â
Why are dental exams and cleanings important?
Dental exams and cleanings in Tysons Corner, Virginia, offer more than just that fresh-from-the-dentist feeling. They deliver long-term benefits that extend well beyond the mouth. Here are the benefits of regular oral wellness visits:
- Prevention: Dental cleanings remove stubborn plaque and tartar to protect your smile from tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, and other issues.Â
- Early detection: A dentist is trained to detect subtle signs of dental issues that may go unnoticed by the untrained eye. We spot dental problems at their earliest, most treatable stage.
- It’s cost-effective: Preventing dental issues is much cheaper than treating them with fillings, crowns, and root canals.Â
- Optimal overall wellness: Preventing dental issues like periodontal disease protects your systemic health from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pre-term births, and other problems.Â
Drs. Foad and Farah Farhoumand recommend dental check-ups every six months or sooner. But we understand that life happens, whether it’s dental fear, cost, or a busy schedule, it’s easy to fall behind. If it’s been 5, 8, or even 10 years since your last visit, know you’re always welcome here. We don’t judge. Our team offers a warm, judgment-free environment focused on helping you restore and maintain your oral health.
