Early Detection of Oral Cancer
While treating gums and teeth, signs for oral cancer is also looked for. If in case oral cancer is not detected, the consequences are irreversible and life-threatening. In an exam known as the VELscope cancer exam, dentists use a light specially designed to detect dead tissue formed by tumors.

The thyroid can also be checked for a lower cost at the dentist. If any problem is found, your dentist will refer you to an appropriate medical specialist.
Prevent Tooth Problems
In the mouth, some places are hard to clean. A dentist examines the teeth for any signs of tooth decay. If there are cavity signs, a fluoride treatment will be prescribed or have dental fillings for larger cavities. Tartar and plaque will be professionally cleaned from gums and teeth. This protects the teeth from harmful bacteria.
Prevention of Gum Disease
Gum diseases in the early stages don’t have symptoms and dentists have been trained to detect them. They make sure that your gums are healthy and firm checking for receding gums, deep gum pockets, or swelling during checkups. If anything stands out, they treat it immediately. They advise you on how to improve oral habits to keep gum diseases at bay.
