Our doctors schedule regular hygiene visits and exams to help prevent oral health issues and ensure that serious conditions do not go untreated. When left untreated or undetected, dental problems will only worsen, and they may advance to the point that they require expensive treatments and procedures.
We offer the very best hygiene visits and exams near Tucson, Catalina, Oro Valley, and beyond because we take an oral-systemic health approach to care. Our doctors take into account your health history, lifestyle, and current health to ensure that you are getting the most personalized, targeted care possible.
During your hygiene visit or exam, our team will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible! Our local Tucson dentist's office offers a generous comfort menu to keep patients relaxed, which includes complimentary beverages and snacks, and calming aromatherapy.
We also offer pillows, blankets, sunglasses, earplugs, lip balm, hot towels, stress balls, and music to make your time in the dental chair a comfortable one!
We Take An Oral-Systemic Health Approach To Regular Exams
If you are coming in for your first dental exam you may notice that we do things a bit differently around here. Unlike most area dentists, Creative Smiles Dentistry truly takes the time to get to know each and every one of our patients. We ask plenty of lifestyle, hygiene, and health-related questions to properly assess oral-systemic health.
Our team may ask you questions about your blood pressure, recent test results, and any related health issues. From there, we will review the forms with you to ensure that we have all of the information we need to make the best choices possible.
During your exam, our team will take any necessary digital x-rays, perform an oral cancer screening, take intraoral and extraoral photos, and even perform a CBCT scan, if needed.
If you are due for a hygiene appointment, our dental hygienist will use all of the health-related information you have given us to provide the healthiest, most personalized care possible.
Of course, we encourage you to ask plenty of questions along the way! We believe that the most successful patients are the most educated ones. We want you to take pride in your smile and keep it healthy in-between visits.
Periodontal Treatment
Did you know that an estimated 64.7 million Americans ages 30 and older are currently suffering from periodontal disease? It's a staggering figure and one that comes with a long list of concerns.
Periodontal disease has been linked to a range of dangerous systemic health conditions, including:
- Heart Disease
- Respiratory Conditions
- Low-Weight Births
- Diabetes Complications
- Cognitive Disorders
- Other Serious Health Problems
Our doctors screen for gum disease during regular examinations, but we encourage you to schedule an appointment earlier if you notice signs of the disease, including red or inflamed gums, oral tenderness, or pus at the base of the teeth.
