By using a digital X-ray machine Dr. Baptista Kwok gets a closer, more detailed look at his patients' teeth. https://covingtoncompletedentistry.com/services/dental-cleanings-exams/

Digital X-rays use less radiation than traditional film x rays and require no chemicals to develop the images making it easier to detect cavities and gaps! We provide efficient care, getting accurate diagnoses quickly so you know the state of your teeth immediately without having any unnecessary pain associated with treatment plans.
Several types of dental problems can be detected with digital x-rays such as:
Cracks in the tooth
Discoloration from poor hygiene practices
Decay in between teeth
Underdeveloped tooth
Improper tooth alignment
Cysts and abscesses
Abnormal growth such as oral cancer
Fractures in existing fillings
Infection in the tooth nerves

Dental cleanings are important for growing children for several reasons: Plaque and tartar removal: Regular dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not removed. Tartar is hardened plaque that can only be removed by a dental professional. By removing these substances, dental cleanings help prevent cavities and gum problems. https://covingtoncompletedentistry.com/services/dental-cleanings-exams/

Early detection of dental issues: Dental cleanings provide an opportunity for dentists to examine the child's oral health and detect any dental issues at an early stage. This includes identifying tooth decay, gum disease, bite problems, and abnormalities in tooth development. Early detection allows for prompt intervention and treatment, preventing further complications down the road.

They can provide guidance on brushing techniques, flossing, and the importance of a balanced diet for dental health. https://covingtoncompletedentistry.com/services/dental-cleanings-exams/

Additionally, dental professionals may apply preventive treatments like dental sealants or fluoride varnishes during cleanings to protect the teeth from cavities.

When it comes to dental bone grafts, there are many types of materials that are used. In general, they can be divided into 3 categories:

Allograft
This is bone that has been harvested from a cadaver or from a human donor for medical procedures.

Autograph
This is bone that has been taken from elsewhere in the patient's body.

Alloplastic
This material is made of calcium carbonate or hydroxyapatite, which are both naturally occurring minerals.
There are some other materials that are used in dental bone grafts, such as synthetic materials and bone tissues taken from animals. One of the factors that go into determining the cost of the procedure is the materials that are used.
