She will even assess your quality of sleep – an area that is often overlooked, even during routine medical exams. Millions of people suffer from Sleep Apnea and other sleep disorders and Froeber Dentistry is highly trained and uniquely qualified to treat them.

After your initial exam, routine checkups will include the following:

Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.

Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.

Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay using digital x-ray technology and clinical examination.

Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.

Professional dental cleaning: Removal of plaque and tartar plus teeth polishing.
