Your oral health doesn’t just affect your teeth. In fact, you can think of your mouth as the beginning of many important parts of your body, like your stomach, heart, lungs, and brain. Routine visits to our Fort Valley dentist can help prevent serious problems from forming elsewhere by:

Removing plaque and tartar to prevent cavities and gum disease.
Detecting cavities and early signs of gum problems before they worsen.
Cleaning and mending your smile to prevent dental emergencies.
Providing an affordable way to care for your smile beyond oral hygiene at home.
Preventing systemic conditions like heart disease by removing bacteria from your teeth and gums.

In short, investing in your smile now helps you avoid pain, stress, and expensive treatment later!

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

Your checkup at Fantastic Smiles will be comfortable, thorough, and tailored to your needs.

We always begin with a visual exam of your teeth, gums, and bite. During this time, Dr. Marable will look for any troubling signs in your smile and screen for oral cancer in your tongue, cheeks, and other soft tissues.

Next, we may move on to X-rays to spot hidden problems like decay or bone loss. This is only typically done once a year unless something comes up between visits. We’ll also review your dental work, including fillings and crowns, and go over any updates to your medical history and medication list to prevent any future conflicts.

Finally, Dr. Marable will end every session with an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. Our goal is to keep you informed and ready to tackle your oral care with seriousness.

Even if you brush and floss every day, there are areas of your mouth your toothbrush just can’t reach. That’s why professional cleanings are just as important as exams.

During your cleaning, our hygienist will:

Use specialized tools to remove built-up plaque and tartar from your teeth and along your gumline.
Floss between each tooth to get rid of hidden debris.
Polish your teeth to reduce surface stains and leave your smile shining.
Offer helpful tips for better brushing and flossing at home.

This process not only keeps your mouth fresh but also helps prevent decay, gum disease, and bad breath. Regular cleanings are one of the easiest ways to protect your long-term oral health and keep smiling strong.
