Now that the virus is gradually being contained and clinics are beginning to reopen, people are once again assaulted with health-related doubts. In this case we will talk about oral health, one of the most neglected by a large number of people in Canary Islands who simply brush their teeth daily and do nothing else to protect themselves.
A dental check-up is one of the best tools we have to be able to diagnose and treat pathologies that in the long run can be very problematic both for our oral health and for our general health. So in today’s article we will talk about the importance of these reviews and how they are done.
Benefits of taking care of our oral health
As we have said before, having an oral check-up every year in a specialized center is very useful for recognizing a large number of oral problems that, if not detected in time, can cause more problems in the future.
However, to take care of our oral health we should also carry out a total cleaning on our own and daily using the aforementioned toothbrush and the two forgotten ones: the mouthwash and the dental floss.
In general, brushing your teeth is a habit that we have incorporated into our routine, but normally we don’t take it as seriously as we should. So from This we recommend you brush your teeth after each meal and use floss and rinse, even if it takes a little longer. The prevention of caries and other oral pathologies is very important.
On the other hand, and together with the dental check-ups that we can undergo in a dental center, it is important to have professional dental cleanings; especially those people who do not usually use mouthwash and dental floss. In dental clinics they have specialized tools and techniques in caring for our mouths, so they can access all the areas that the toothbrush does not reach to clean them and thus prevent a large number of pathologies.

What is a dental check-up at Dental Quality Centers?
If you are considering going to Centros de Calidad Dental for a dental check-up, here is a summary of how they perform it in the clinic so that you are well informed before requesting your appointment.
Dental examination
The first part of all dental reviews at Centros de Calidad Dental consists of an examination in which specialists can observe the current state of the patients mouth. If it is the first time that a patient arrives at the clinic, this allows to establish a starting point in their medical history and; if, on the other hand, he is a recurrent patient, this allows an assessment of his evolution.
Oral radiography
Although with the first observation a large number of different pathologies and problems can be detected, patients are always X-rayed to know exactly the state of all the tissues that make up the mouth.
Diagnosis of caries through Transillumination
This is one of the most important techniques used in Centros de Calidad Dental since it allows specialists to detect cavities at very early stages in order to act quickly on them. In this way, the patient saves money on more complicated future treatments and above all many oral discomforts.
Detection of dental cancer
Annual reviews detect a large number of pathologies, including dental cancer. Did you know that 70% of oral cancer cases are detected very late? This not only causes great discomfort in patients but also makes treatments in later stages of cancer more complicated. This is why a dental checkup at least once a year is so important, including a polarized light examination of the soft parts of the mouth.
Diagnosis, advice and recommendations
Once the specialists have finished with the oral examination, they offer an accurate diagnosis based on what they have observed in the patients’ mouths and they are offered a series of treatments always related to improving their oral and general health
