One of the most important benefits of working with a reputable dentist in Florham Park is having access to dental exams and dental x-rays. These diagnostic techniques are vital to ensuring ongoing good oral health and can help prevent serious conditions from developing. <\/p>\n
Dr. Yusun Gohard offers dental exams and x-rays for patients of all ages, and with all levels of oral health. Whether you are in need of a basic, routine examination or x-rays are needed to pinpoint cavities or to check for oral cancer, she can help.<\/p>\n
Dental exams and x-rays are used for any number of different purposes. Exams range from general, routine procedures used at each six-month checkup to in-depth examinations for specific needs. For instance, Dr. Gohard will provide a thorough dental exam at each checkup, but she can also provide specific checkups to help determine if you are a good candidate for specific dental treatments, ranging from dentures to dental implants to bridges and everything in between.<\/p>\n
The typical oral exam beings with a brief look at your medical history, followed by a physical and visual examination of your teeth, gums and even the bone of your jaw. Dr. Gohard will check all surfaces of your teeth for signs of wear and tear, as well as signs of deterioration and cavities. She will also check existing fillings to ensure that they are still in place and do not need repairs. <\/p>\n
Using a special tool, Dr. Gohard will check for calculus deposits, and she will also check to make sure that your gums are tight against your teeth. If they are not, it could be a sign of gum disease. <\/p>\n
Dental x-rays are used as a diagnostic tool as well. If you are concerned about the level of radiation exposure, you can put those fears to rest. Modern x-rays use only a fraction of the radiation of older methods, and protective gear has also become much more advanced. In fact, you are exposed to more radiation when traveling by airplane than you are when having a dental x-ray.<\/p>\n
