Your regular dental exam is more than just a checkup. Preventive dentistry is an investment in your oral health. While some dental emergencies cannot be avoided, many can be with preventive dentistry and diagnostics!
Same-Dental Appointments Seven Days a Week in Philadelphia
Whether it’s been six months or five years since you have been to the dentist, we will meet you where you are without guilt or judgment. Our team will help you establish a dental care routine to support your oral health and lifestyle.
Here is what to expect at your preventive dental appointment:
- An exam of each tooth
- A periodontal exam
- Diagnostic x-rays (as needed)
- Oral cancer screening
- Evaluate existing dental work or dentures
- Review of medical history and blood pressure screening
If your dentist finds anything that requires your attention, he will discuss it with you, along with all of your options to maintain your smile health.
Early diagnosis is the key to treating dental issues before they develop into emergencies. The best way to do that is to maintain regular dental appointments with Dr. Lee Schriftman or Dr. Javier Ambriz at The Philadelphia Dentist.
Dental Cleanings in Philadelphia
Our dental cleanings are customized to meet your needs. At your dental exam, your dentist will recommend the type of dental cleaning that suits your needs and a recall frequency to protect your oral health. Some people need more frequent visits, especially if they have a history of toothaches, decay, infections, missing teeth, gum disease, or are on a periodontal maintenance program.
What If a Dental Emergency Happens Anyway?
Despite our best efforts, life sometimes has other plans. If you do experience a toothache, swelling, a broken restoration, extreme sensitivity, a broken or knocked-out tooth, or any sudden change to your oral health, please give us a call.
We treat dental emergencies in Philadelphia on the same day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, because emergencies don’t follow a 9-5 schedule.
