A routine dental exam includes cleaning, cavity check, gum assessment, and oral cancer screening.

While common for children, adults can also benefit from sealants to prevent tooth decay.

Sealants reduce cavity risk by up to 80% in molars, offering significant protection.

Wisdom teeth should be removed if they cause pain, crowding, or infection risk.

Before extraction, discuss medical history, follow pre-op instructions, and arrange post-op care.

Post-extraction, rest, avoid straws, eat soft foods, and follow dentist’s care instructions.

Oral surgery addresses complex dental issues like extractions, implants, and jaw corrections.

Deep decay, cracked teeth, or trauma can lead to infected pulp requiring root canal.

Root canal saves the tooth while extraction removes it—each has specific uses and outcomes.

Brush twice daily, floss, avoid sugar, and use fluoride to prevent cavities naturally.
