For many people, the health care provider they visit most often is their general dentist. This is because general dentistry is geared towards disease prevention. More than 60% of dental procedures are diagnostic or preventive. If oral diseases are not treated in time, major problems can result, such as dental infections, orofacial abscesses and pain, which translates to a greater expenditure of time and money for the patient.
In a routine Dental Prophylaxis visit at the Champsaur Dental Clinic, you will undergo a complete examination of your mouth (teeth, gums, tongue, cheeks), a professional cleaning and, if necessary, you will undergo X-rays to rule out tooth decay or other oral pathologies.
In general, you should visit your dentist at the Champsaur Dental Clinic every four to six months, for preventive services and whenever you have a concern about your oral health, but there may be individual circumstances for a different preventive treatment program.
