Regular Checkups in Newtown, Connecticut

What Can I Expect During My Checkup?

A complete checkup will allow the dentist to check the overall health of your teeth and gums and prevent any disease from happening or progressing in the future. A complete checkup consists of:

• Dr. Vedullapalli will check your teeth and gums. She will look for signs of disease, infection, damage, or decay. Digital cavity detection will be performed to look for cavities that aren’t visible on the surface of your teeth.
• Your jaws and overall bone structure are checked to make sure that there are no other underlying issues. Digital dental X-rays and other exams might be required to form a complete picture of your dental health. We may also check your blood pressure as necessary to evaluate your risk for developing other conditions.
• Our dentist will then conduct an oral cancer screening test. Dr. Vedullapalli will check for lumps, lesions, or abnormal tissue around your neck, teeth, tongue, and cheeks.

Regular checkups and cleanings can help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health. That is why it is essential to come in ever six months. Our team will make sure your teeth are clean and free of bacteria that can cause gum disease, tooth decay, and cavities.
