Dental Exams

We prioritize your oral health through comprehensive and thorough dental examinations. Regular dental exams are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing potential dental issues. Our dedicated team of dental professionals is committed to providing you with the highest standard of care, ensuring that your teeth and gums stay in optimal condition.

The Importance of Regular Dental Exams

Dental exams are a crucial aspect of preventive dental care. Here are some key benefits:

  • Early Detection of Problems: Regular exams allow us to identify dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer in their early stages when they are easier and less costly to treat.
  • Preventive Care: Dental exams help prevent problems before they start. Our team provides personalized advice on oral hygiene practices and preventive measures to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
  • Maintaining Oral Health: Consistent dental exams ensure that your oral health is monitored regularly, helping to maintain strong teeth and healthy gums throughout your life.

What to Expect During Your Dental Exam

At Middletown Dental Services, we strive to make your dental exam a comfortable and informative experience. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

  1. Medical History Review: We begin by reviewing your medical and dental history to understand any underlying conditions that may affect your oral health.
  2. Visual Examination: Our dentist will conduct a thorough visual examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for signs of decay, gum disease, and other issues.
  3. Digital X-Rays: If necessary, we will take digital x-rays to get a detailed view of your teeth and jaw structures. Digital x-rays help us detect problems that are not visible to the naked eye, such as cavities between teeth and bone loss.
  4. Oral Cancer Screening: As part of our comprehensive exam, we perform an oral cancer screening to check for any unusual changes or lesions in your mouth.
  5. Gum Health Assessment: We will assess the health of your gums, checking for signs of gum disease such as redness, swelling, and bleeding.
  6. Professional Cleaning: Depending on your needs, a professional dental cleaning may be performed to remove plaque and tartar buildup, leaving your teeth clean and polished.
  7. Personalized Recommendations: After the examination, our dentist will discuss the findings with you and provide personalized recommendations for maintaining or improving your oral health.

I've been coming here for as long as I can remember, and the care has always been outstanding. The staff (especially Ann at the front desk) is friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. Appointments are always pleasant, and I trust this team completely. Highly recommend!

When I was a child, I had to be sedated in order to even get into the car to GO to the dentist's office, and every visit was a white-knuckled horror in my eyes. If Dr. Selcher had been my dentist then, my experience would have been completely different - I have never once had a painful or uncomfortable experience under his care. I've been his patient for over 30 years, and really look forward to my visits with him and his wonderful staff (I actually fell asleep once DURING a root canal performed by Dr. Selcher!). Even when we moved an hour away, we'd go back to Middletown to see him. My children were raised with regular visits to his office, and always looked forward to visits with him, too (they'd even come with me to my visits so they could see everyone). I have recommended Dr. Selcher to many people; I truly believe there is no higher standard of up-to-date professional, compassionate, accomplished dental care anywhere.
