Routine Dental Examinations

         We specialize in general dentistry for the whole family, and utilize the highest Indian Dental Association standards in all our procedures 

         At Prashanth Dental, our dentistry team is dedicated to providing a strong foundation for great oral hygiene. Our professional staff are committed to ensuring our patients receive thorough care during their twice-yearly dental examinations and cleanings.

The Dental Examination

        A comprehensive dental exam and cleaning are recommended twice-yearly for children and adults. During your initial dental examination at Prashanth Dental, our staff will take full mouth X-rays to ensure the health of your gums, teeth, and jaw. X-rays will not be required at every visit, and Doctors will discuss whether new X-rays will be required.

       During a twice-yearly check-up, patients receive a thorough examination of their teeth, gums, tongue, jaw, and neck. Our experienced dentists will examine each tooth for cavities, plaque, or damage using a small pick instrument and mirror. An examination of your gums will detect if any gum disease is present or needs treatment. Your head, neck and jaw are examined to diagnose any possible issues with glands or joints, such as TMJ disorder. If necessary, Doctors may recommend additional X-rays, an oral cancer screening, or a further periodontal inspection.

​

Comprehensive Dental Cleaning

      After the comprehensive examination and evaluation, one of our professional and knowledgeable dental team will perform a comprehensive cleaning. Professional cleanings are recommended to be given twice a year to prevent cavities and identify any oral health issues as early as possible. A professional cleaning supplements the oral hygiene you maintain at home.

      While it is recommended that adults brush three times a day and floss once a day, many patients only brush their teeth twice a day and floss less than once a day. A deep cleaning twice a year by one of our professional dental includes a polishing and a fluoride treatment to prevent cavities and protect teeth from decay
