Prevent Problems. Protect Your Smile

Maintaining a healthy smile starts with regular dental exams. Even if your teeth feel fine, routine check-ups are essential for detecting problems early, preventing oral disease, and keeping your smile bright and strong.

At Ethos Modern Dental, our comprehensive exams go beyond just checking for cavities—we look at your overall oral health to ensure your teeth, gums, and mouth stay in excellent condition.


Why Dental Exams Are Important

Many dental issues, such as cavities, gum disease, or infections, begin silently—without pain or obvious symptoms. By the time discomfort appears, the problem may already be advanced. Regular exams help with:

  • Detecting cavities and decay early

  • Identifying gum disease in its initial stages

  • Screening for oral cancer or unusual changes

  • Monitoring existing dental work (fillings, crowns, implants)

  • Preventing costly, complex treatments later


What Happens During a Dental Exam?

A typical exam includes:

  • Medical & Dental History Review – Understanding your overall health

  • Visual Examination – Checking teeth, gums, bite, and jaw alignment

  • Digital X-rays (if needed) – Revealing hidden issues not visible to the eye

  • Oral Cancer Screening – Early detection of abnormalities

  • Gum Health Evaluation – Checking for swelling, bleeding, or infection

  • Discussion & Recommendations – A clear explanation of your oral health and preventive care options


 Benefits of Regular Dental Exams

  • Keeps teeth and gums healthy

  • Prevents small issues from becoming major problems

  • Maintains fresh breath and a confident smile

  • Supports overall health (oral health is linked to heart health & diabetes)

  • Saves time and money with early intervention
