What is family dentistry?

Family dentistry addresses with dental issues for every member of the family from small children to older adults because everyone has different needs at every stage of life. We have a comprehensive oral care from baby teeth to permanent teeth.

One of the most important parts of your oral health is to maintain your regular checkups with thorough cleaning and examination of your teeth and mouth for any cavities and gum disease. The sooner we can identify a cavity or gum disease, the better.

What to Expect

Our experienced staff will help diagnose oral disease before it gets worse and becomes a possible hazard to your health. A visit to Antioch Premier Dental can actually save you money on dental treatment by fixing problems early.

During your regular visit, you can expect an examination of your teeth and mouth and a thorough cleaning of your teeth. We remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and keep them healthy and strong. Plaque is bacteria that hardens and turns into tartar, which eventually will cause oral diseases.

We may take X-rays to see the details of what is going in your mouth such as cavities, gum disease, or any other dental issues. We use a special tool to measure the depth of space between your teeth and gums. One of our dentists makes a thorough examination of your tongue, throat and head looking for any signs of swelling or cancer.

We complete your checkup with a good cleaning and polishing of your teeth before flossing them to make sure every area between your teeth are clean. Our staff also provides you with information on how to keep good oral health habits, including brushing and flossing more effectively.

5 Key Evaluations

Here are five of the most important evaluations during your exam:

1. Cavities screening: this is where we look into any cavities and tooth fractures
2. Oral cancer screening: we do a thorough check for any signs of oral cancer because early diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference
3. Periodontal disease screening: our dentist checks for any tooth infection, bleeding or puffy gums, or other issues surrounding your teeth
4. Restoration screening: our dentist examines your oral health and whether any of your bridges, crowns, fillings, implants or veneers need any restoration
5. Tooth decay screening: it is important to check for any tooth decay as early as possible and if needed, provide treatment for a crown, filling or root canal
