Comprehensive Exams

Comprehensive dental exams are a crucial aspect of pediatric preventive dentistry. It involves a thorough evaluation of the oral health status of a child. During the exam, our dentist in Miami, FL, checks for any signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, or other dental problems. They will also assess the child’s bite, alignment, and jaw development.

Who are the candidates?

All children should get comprehensive dental exams regularly, preferably twice a year. It is especially important for children with a history of dental problems or those at a higher risk of developing dental issues. This includes children who consume sugary or acidic foods and drinks frequently, have poor oral hygiene habits, or have a family history of dental problems.

What are the benefits?

The following are the benefits of comprehensive dental exams:
  • Early detection and prevention of dental problems- It helps identify any dental issues in their early stages before they worsen and require extensive treatments.
  • Customized dental care plan- Based on the results of the exam, our dentist in Kendall, FL, creates a personalized dental care plan for the child to maintain optimal oral health.
  • Improvement of overall health- Oral health is linked to overall health. Comprehensive dental exams can help identify any underlying health issues such as nutritional deficiencies or diabetes.
  • Promotion of good oral hygiene habits- By educating children on proper oral hygiene practices during comprehensive exams, they are encouraged to maintain good oral hygiene habits throughout their lives.
Comprehensive dental exams can help children maintain good oral health, prevent future dental issues, and promote overall health and wellbeing. If your child’s comprehensive exam is due, contact us at (305) 271-0861.
