Dental / Oral Health Treatment: Comprehensive Dental Evaluation at the Center for Dental Anesthesiology
The selection of appropriate dental/oral health treatments depends on a thorough assessment and careful diagnosis. When you visit the Center for Dental Anesthesiology, we make sure you undergo a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and gums and all connected structures, all of which which will ultimately determine your overall dental health. If a restorative dentist or periodontist determines abnormalities in the mouth early on, potential problems can be avoided. Visit our Virginia dental office serving Alexandria, Washington, D.C., Arlington, and surrounding areas, for a consultation with an experienced dental professional.
Did you know:
- Oral cancers are having the largest increase in occurrence in recent years?
- There are painless, inexpensive and reliable oral cancer screening tests available to a restorative dentist, periodontist, and dental hygienists?
- The very reliable cell biopsy technique that has been used for decades (including the well known "Pap" smear) can be used by a restorative dentist or periodontist for suspicious oral lesions?
- The majority of ‘headaches' are caused by muscle and/or joint problems?
- A large number of ear problems are really problems with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)?
- Sleep disorders are extremely common and orofacial maladies are often prime contributors?
- Snoring and sleep apnea can often be improved with a dental device?
- Many systemic diseases have oral manifestations that can assist in diagnosis?
- Many systemic diseases have oral indicators before other clinical signs present themselves?
- ‘Bad breath' can be a sign of more serious conditions?
- Infections originating in the mouth have caused damaging consequences to heart valves and the brain?
A dental examination should include a solid evaluation of your teeth and gums. It should also include an evaluation of all the body parts connected to your teeth and gums. Easily detected (if one is looking for them) abnormalities in the mouth or face can yield dramatic information. The doctors at the Center for Dental Anesthesiology will ask about, look into and follow-up on all the things listed above. It doesn't need to cost more or be unpleasant to be thorough, it just requires the time and training to look.
