If you don't have good oral health, your smile won't last. Six-month exams, cleanings, and daily oral homecare can preserve your teeth for years to come. As a general dentist, Dr. Songstad believes preventive care is the key to lasting oral health. Your comprehensive checkups allow our team to identify and address potential or small problems before serious damage occurs.
Approximately 80 percent of adults suffer from gum disease - the leading cause of tooth loss for Americans. Because you may feel no pain from this problem, it can go undetected and lead to other health issues, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and premature births. If you have swollen gums that bleed when you brush, let us know. Our hygiene team can diagnose gum disease, train you on how to improve your homecare regimen, or provide periodontal therapy to restore healthy soft tissues.
At your checkups, we'll update your records with X-rays and conduct periodontal charting, a bite analysis, and a visual inspection of each tooth in your mouth. Our hygienist will clean and polish your teeth, and she is always happy to answer questions about oral health. Dr. Songstad will review his findings and explain the problems he finds with your teeth and gums. He'll provide options for care and work with you to create a treatment plan that suits your schedule, goals, and budget.
