How Often Should You Visit The Dentist?
It is highly recommended that you have a professional dental examination and cleaning twice a year. Preventative care is a crucial part of maintaining a healthy smile. The professionals at Dr. Marvin Tong DDS can help.
Detecting Oral Cancer Early On
If detected early on, oral cancer can be treated effectively by a trained medical professional. This serious medical condition requires immediate intervention, which is why it is important that you contact Dr. Marvin Tong, DDS, if you are exhibiting common symptoms. Our Valencia oral health care professionals are able to provide you with a screening to help diagnose the problem.
Some of the most common signs of oral cancer are:
- Sores on your gums that won't go away
- Red or white patches inside your mouth
- Numbness and bleeding of your gums
A Comprehensive Assessment with Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays allow our dental team to provide you with a comprehensive evaluation of your gums and teeth. We are able to give you a detailed image of your mouth, walking you through your dental procedure while answering any questions that you may have. Furthermore, since digital X-rays are saved in our system, we are able to conveniently send images to specialists and other medical professionals.
In order to maintain proper oral hygiene, Marvin Tong, DDS, recommends you take the following steps:
- Brush and floss twice a day
- Limit especially acidic foods in your diet
- Avoid cigarettes
- Schedule routine cleanings twice a year
