Why People Love Amiable Dental Care
The Importance of Regular Dental Checkups
The American Dental Association recommends seeing your dentist at least twice a year for a dental checkup. Regular checkups are crucial in maintaining good oral health and catching potential problems early. At Amiable Dental Care, we take these visits seriously, ensuring a thorough examination of your oral health.
Children’s Dental Checkups
We welcome children to our practice! Children as young as two should begin their dental health journey, with regular checkups recommended by age four or five. Early visits help establish a foundation for lifelong oral health and familiarize children with the importance of dental care.
During your child's first dental visit, the focus is on creating a positive and comfortable experience. Dr. Rageer gently examines your child's teeth, gums, and bite to assess their oral health and development. This visit often includes a light cleaning to introduce the child to routine dental care. Our team also educates you on proper oral hygiene practices for your child, such as brushing techniques and dietary tips.
It's an opportunity to address any concerns and to establish a foundation for a lifetime of good dental habits, making the visit educational, reassuring, and as enjoyable as possible for both you and your child!

Comprehensive Dental Exams
During your checkup, Dr. Rageer and her team will perform a detailed inspection of your mouth. This includes:
- Soft Tissue Examination: We check your soft tissues for signs of oral cancer, periodontal disease, and other potential issues.
- Tooth Assessment: Each tooth is examined for decay, cracks, or other problems. We also assess any existing dental work, such as fillings or crowns, to ensure they are still in good condition.
- Preventive Approach: By identifying issues every six months, we aim to reduce your risk of developing major dental problems. Early detection and treatment can control diseases that, if left untreated, might lead to more severe issues like tooth loss or severe health complications.
