What Is a Dental Exam and Checkup?

Everyone in the family should visit us at Downey Dental Arts for a dental checkup twice a year. We perform a thorough oral exam at least once per year, along with taking X-rays to check the status of the teeth. Then we conduct a dental checkup halfway through the year to make sure everything looks good. We also perform an oral cancer screening during your dental exam to catch any possible problems early on so we can treat them early before they become more severe issues.

What Is a Routine Teeth Cleaning?

Dental cleanings should occur twice a year at least. These routine teeth cleanings are critical for the long-term oral health of you and your family. At these dental cleanings, our skilled dental hygienist will remove plaque and tartar, which can build up and cause problems such as cavities and gum disease.

What Is a Digital X-Ray?

Traditional X-rays have been used safely for years to look at what is going on with teeth, but digital X-rays are even better. Why? Digital X-rays can emit approximately 80% less radiation. We can also take more precise pictures to get a better idea of what is going on inside the mouth.

What Does Fluoride Treatment Do?

One of the best ways to prevent cavities is through fluoride treatment. This routine treatment for children is easy and painless. It can help bolster enamel and help teeth retain their strength. Adults can also benefit from fluoride treatments when tooth enamel is wearing thin.

How Are Cavities Treated in Downey?

When you or your child has a cavity, our team at Downey Dental Arts can help. We use the latest technologies as well as non-toxic filling material such as composite resin. Composite fillings blend in with the teeth and prevent the teeth from degrading further.

What Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Often, as your children become teenagers, they will need a wisdom tooth extraction. The wisdom teeth are large molars in the far back of the mouth and the last permanent teeth to erupt. Because they often crowd other teeth, they are routinely removed for comfort and dental hygiene purposes. However, more and more adults are also getting their wisdom teeth removed, as well!

What Is Dental Sedation?

Sedation is used to relax patients or put them to sleep during dental surgery. Sometimes sedation is used for dental anxiety. At Downey Dental Arts, we offer a variety of sedation options to help keep you and your kids comfortable.
