At Huisman Family Dentistry, we believe that regular Holland dental exams are the cornerstone of lifelong oral health. These checkups allow us to identify potential issues early, ensuring that minor concerns don’t turn into major problems. By combining preventive care with cutting-edge technology, we can help you maintain your natural teeth and keep your smile strong and healthy for life.
Why Regular Dental Exams Matter
Dental exams aren’t just about checking for cavities—they’re an essential part of maintaining overall health. Small issues, like early-stage tooth decay, can be treated easily and comfortably when caught early. Left untreated, these problems can escalate, requiring more invasive and costly treatments.
Our commitment to early detection means that we can address issues while they’re still manageable. Not only does this make the restoration process more comfortable, but it also helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure, promoting long-term health and reducing the risk of future complications.
Advanced Tools for Early Detection
We’ve invested in state-of-the-art technology to ensure our dental exams are as thorough and effective as possible.
DIAGNOdent®
The DIAGNOdent® laser allows us to detect tooth decay at its earliest stages, even before it’s visible on x-rays or to the naked eye. This advanced technology enables us to treat decay with minimally invasive techniques, often eliminating the need for numbing or extensive procedures. Early detection with DIAGNOdent® supports our commitment to conservative dentistry and helps us provide more comfortable care.
Digital X-Rays
Our digital x-rays offer a safer, more efficient way to evaluate your oral health. Compared to traditional x-rays, digital imaging reduces radiation exposure significantly and provides enhanced, color-detailed images for accurate diagnoses. Digital x-rays are also environmentally friendly, as they eliminate the need for photo chemicals and traditional film.
The Cari-Free System
Tooth decay is caused by bacterial infections on the teeth. The Cari-Free System allows us to test for and treat these infections before they cause cavities. This proactive approach targets the root cause of decay, promoting healthier teeth and gums and reducing the need for restorative treatments.
Oral Cancer Screenings: A Vital Part of Your Exam
Oral cancer affects approximately 35,000 Americans each year, making early detection critical. At Huisman Family Dentistry, we prioritize your health by including oral cancer screenings as part of our comprehensive dental exams.
We recommend that all new patients undergo an oral cancer screening and encourage everyone to schedule this important exam annually. Catching oral cancer in its early stages can save lives, which is why we take this screening so seriously.
