Dental Examination
Dental examinations are an important part of every person's overall health care. Patients who perform proper dental hygiene at home still benefit from these examinations because a dentist can discover problems early, while they are easy to treat. Prior to a dental examination, a patient should provide an updated medical history to the dentist. This can identify certain medical conditions or lifestyle choices that may affect a patient's oral health. A dental examination is a process in which a dentist examines the teeth and gums for signs of disease or irregularity. Dental examinations involve a number of components. These may include...

Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
The use of fluoride has been endorsed as a safe and effective method of preventing tooth decay. When fluoride enters the mouth it is deposited into the teeth, strengthening teeth during a process called remineralization. Fluoride is a mineral that appears naturally in soil, water, and certain foods. It is often added to community drinking water when levels are deemed insufficient to help protect against tooth decay. Sometimes fluoride supplements (in the form of tablets, drops or lozenges) are used to compensate for drinking water without adequate fluoridation. Fluoride is also directly applied to the teeth as part of routine oral care. Brushing teeth with fluoride toothpaste is an important component of good daily dental hygiene. Fluoride may also be topically applied as fluoride gels, varnishes, mouth rinses, and during professionally applied fluoride treatments. Anyone at high risk of tooth decay may benefit from fluoride treatments that use higher concentration levels of fluoride than those available in over-the-counter products. All age groups can benefit from fluoride, which fortifies and strengthens teeth. Children who receive adequate levels of fluoride develop permanent teeth that are more resistant to decay.
Dental Sealants
Children eligible for an exam, prophylaxis (cleaning), fluoride varnish, and sealants (if needed) are those who provide a positive, fully completed permission slip.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Dental sealants are a thin, composite resin coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars) to help prevent cavities from developing in children. While fluoride has played a large role in decreasing smooth surface decay, fluoride has its least preventive effect on the deep grooves, called pits and fissures, of the back teeth. Dental sealants have been shown to be highly effective in the prevention of pit and fissure caries/decay. Teeth with the highest priorities for sealant placement are usually the first and second permanent molars. Because of their less shallow grooves, primary or baby molars and permanent bicuspids are less susceptible to decay and therefore are at a lower priority for placement. Although the application process is fairly simple, attention to technique is very important. Inadequate isolation and subsequent contamination by water or saliva will cause the sealant to fail. The teeth to be sealed are cleaned by a rotary instrument. A mild acidic solution is then applied to the grooves and washed off after approximately twenty seconds. The teeth are then thoroughly dried. The resultant tooth surface has been etched or roughened, allowing the sealant material to adhere to this roughened surface. A thin layer of the white sealant material is painted on the tooth & cured with a curing light. Miles of Smiles, Ltd. uses a BPA-free sealant called Ultra seal XT Plus made by Ultradent Products, Inc. For continued effectiveness, the sealants should be checked regularly and replaced as needed.
Crowns
Certain treatments may be recommended, depending on the findings of the examination (fillings, crowns, extractions, braces). In some cases, protective measures such as dental sealants may be recommended.
