A comprehensive oral exam at Zysik Dental includes checking your teeth and gums, taking x-rays for a closer look at what is going on inside your mouth, and also a screening for oral cancer. Our
Massena general dentists, Dr. Edmund Zysik and Dr. Jonathan Zysik, are dedicated to helping you to maintain the highest levels of oral health. Tooth decay, gum disease, and cancers that originate in the mouth often originate and progress without symptoms. This is why it is so important to schedule a full oral exam regularly, which for most people is two times per year. Early detection is essential to affecting the best possible outcomes.
Oral Exams Massena
Tooth decay, left unchecked, will form cavities in your teeth. Those cavities can grow and expand if not treated. The eventual outcome of neglect will be the need for root canal treatment, or even worse still, the need for the tooth to be extracted. Unaddressed gum disease can lead to inflamed or infected gums. And we’re sure that we do not need to stress how vital it is to treat any type of cancer as quickly as possible. In contrast, tooth decay caught quickly can be treated with a simple filling; the early stage of gum disease, gingivitis, can often be stopped from advancing with a simple periodontal cleaning; as for oral cancers, referral to a specialist can greatly improve your odds of successful treatment when detected early on. Our
Massena general dentists will work with you to keep your mouth healthy and to give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have been thoroughly examined.
Certain personal habits are associated with a greater risk of contacting oral cancer. All tobacco products- cigarets, cigars, and chewing tobacco- and heavy alcohol consumption are especially dangerous in increasing the likelihood of oral cancer. A healthy mouth is served best by healthy habits. A sensible diet that limits processed sugar, a strong regimen of brushing and flossing, and in the case of oral cancer- protecting your lips from the effects of the sun by using sunscreen are all excellent strategies for maintaining the health of your teeth, gums, and your entire mouth. Along with those, regular visits to our
Massena general dentists for a thorough oral exam will give you the best chance of meeting the goal of optimal oral health.
