Welcome to the Dental Office of Heather V. Adams, DDS
As your local family dentist serving Bentonville, AR, Dr. Adams offers general dental care to patients of all ages, including children. She is a gentle dentist who will tailor dental services to the needs of your child’s growing smile. Following the American Dental Association guidelines, you should bring your child in for their first visit by the time their first tooth erupts or by age 1.
You should schedule a routine preventive dental care appointment every six months. Patients of all ages should see a dentist this often. These visits are essential to maintain good oral health and prevent dental diseases.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
- A Full Mouth Exam: Dr. Adams will examine your teeth and gums for signs of oral health issues, including tooth cavities and gum disease. This is a general assessment of your overall oral health.
- Screen for Oral Cancer: Our dentist will perform an oral cancer screening. She will look for abnormal lumps, bumps, and lesions in your mouth that may be a sign of cancer or pre-cancer.
- X-rays: We will take x-rays about once a year. This is to get a better look at how your teeth look under the gums and your jawbone. X-rays detect problems that are not visible during a physical exam.
- Teeth Cleaning: One of our dental hygienists will clean your teeth with special tools. Our hygiensts will remove all the excess plaque and tarter that has buildup on your teeth since your last appointment. Then, they will brush and floss your teeth. Finally, one of our hygienists will polish your teeth for a natural shine.
- Consultation with Dr. Adams: If any dental problems are found, Dr. Adams will discuss the issue with you and make suggestions based on her findings. You can also tell her about any of your current dental concerns. If further treatment is necessary, she will develop a treatment plan.
