Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Exams in Kansas City, MO
Why are dental exams important?
Dental exams are essential for maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. During a dental exam, Dr. Goodman will check for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential issues. Regular checkups help catch problems early before they become costly, invasive, or painful to treat.
How often should I attend dental exams?
Most patients should attend a routine cleaning and exam every six months. However, if you have gum disease or another condition, Dr. Goodman may recommend that you visit our Kansas City office more often.
What if I haven’t had a dental exam in years?
That’s okay! We can fit you in for an appointment as soon as possible. Even if it’s been a while since your last checkup, we’ll provide a judgment-free environment and focus on restoring your oral health. We offer a wide range of dental services so we can address your concerns.
Do cleanings and exams hurt?
No. If you experience dental anxiety, you can rest assured that our hygienists and dentist use gentle techniques to make your visit more comfortable. We also offer blankets, pillows, and other amenities to help you relax throughout your appointment. If you need a lengthier procedure, we can administer nitrous oxide sedation.
