What Happens During Exams?

Exams and cleanings in Liberty Hill, TX begin with a visual exam of your teeth, gums, lips, jaws, face, and neck. Dr. Priyanka Agrawal may use diagnostic x-rays to detect hidden decay lurking between your teeth or under the gum line.

Our skilled dentist will then check your gums for swelling, redness, soreness, or bleeding to screen for gum disease. Untreated gum disease can spread to the tooth roots and attack surrounding bone, causing teeth to become unstable and loose.

Oral cancer screening takes about 10 to 15 minutes and involves checking for lesions, patches, and abnormalities inside the cheeks, under the tongue, and on the roof and floor of your oral cavity. Early oral cancer detection plays a crucial role in successful treatment. If you’re at higher risk of oral cancer, please get in touchwith Prime Dental of Liberty Hill for regular oral cancer screening.

Professional Teeth Cleaning

Once your exam is complete, our experienced hygienist will start the in-office teeth cleaning process. We will take a closer look at your teeth and gums to check for decay and plaque before scaling away stubborn oral plaque and tartar. Our hygienist uses manual and ultrasonic scaling tools to remove deposits and polishes your teeth using special, gritty toothpaste. We will also use floss to clear away any food particles stuck between your teeth. Regular dental cleanings help remove bacteria responsible for bad breath, often found between teeth and along the gum line.

To enjoy continued oral health, please call Dr. Priyanka Agrawal to schedule an appointment at a convenient time.
