in Arlington, VA
The Importance Of
Dental Cleanings and Exams
At Cusumano and Stuver, we understand the importance of preventative care in maintaining a healthy, radiant smile. Dental cleanings and exams are the foundation of oral health, playing a critical role in preventing dental issues before they escalate. They allow for early detection of potential issues before they become severe. Our dedicated team is passionate about providing you with thorough and personalized care, ensuring your smile remains bright and healthy.
Our Approach to Dental Cleanings
Our team takes a personalized approach to dental cleanings, ensuring your comfort and care at every step:
1
Comprehensive Examination
Our experienced dentists perform a detailed exam to assess your oral health.
2
Plaque and Tartar Removal
Using specialized tools, we remove plaque and tartar build-up that brushing and flossing alone cannot address.
3
Gum Assessment
The main goal of a gum assessment, or periodontal examination, is to evaluate the health of your gums and the structures that support your teeth. This helps to identify any signs of periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to tooth loss if not properly managed.
4
Fluoride Treatment
We recommend fluoride treatment to all our patients to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. Whether you’re a child or an adult, our team will make sure you get the right care.
X-Rays and Oral Cancer Screenings:
Essential Tools for Early Detection
At Cusumano and Stuver, we believe in proactive dental care, and X-rays and oral cancer screenings play an essential role in our preventive approach. These diagnostic tools help us detect issues early, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment as soon as possible.
X-Rays: Looking Beneath the Surface
Even with a thorough visual examination, not all dental issues are visible to the naked eye. X-rays allow us to see what’s happening beneath the surface, providing a detailed look at your teeth, roots, and jawbone. With digital X-rays, we can quickly identify problems like cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, and abnormalities that may not yet be visible.
Digital X-rays offer several benefits, including:
Better Accuracy
Clear, high-resolution images that aid in precise diagnoses.
Reduced Radiation Exposure
Significantly lower radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays.
Immediate Results
Instant images that allow us to discuss your results and treatment options during your visit.
Oral Cancer Screenings:
Early Detection for Better Outcomes
Oral cancer screenings are a vital part of our comprehensive dental exams. Oral cancer is most effectively treated when detected early, and we make this an integral part of your routine check-up. Our team is trained to spot early signs of oral cancer, such as unusual sores, discolorations, or lumps.
