What We Assess During a Visual Exam
At the beginning of your dental visit in Springfield, Dr. Stewart Judy will conduct a careful visual examination of your mouth. During this assessment, we pay close attention to the following areas:
X-Rays: Identifying Problems
We generally suggest taking dental X-rays once a year, or more often if your oral health history or risk factors indicate a need. X-rays allow us to detect problems that may not be visible during a regular exam, such as:
Assessing Your Oral Health Risks: Customized Care Plans
During your appointment, we’ll also go over your daily oral hygiene habits and general health, discussing areas such as:
- Reviewing your everyday oral care practices, including how you brush and floss.
- Discussing eating habits that may affect dental health, such as frequent intake of sugary snacks and beverages.
- Considering lifestyle choices, like tobacco use, that can lead to gum problems or tooth discoloration.
Next Steps: Follow-Up and Personalized Treatment Plan
If any concerns are identified during your exam, we’ll go over the recommended next steps with you. This may include regular cleanings, fluoride treatments or sealants, or more involved procedures such as fillings, crowns, or other specialized dental care.
Dental Checkups Help Your Entire Family
For teenagers, maintaining healthy teeth and gums is crucial during these formative years. We monitor the development of wisdom teeth and ensure their smiles remain strong, healthy, and properly maintained.
For adults, proactive care is key. Regular dental checkups help identify and prevent issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer, safeguarding your health while reducing future time and costs.
For older adults, regular dental appointments are vital for addressing age-related oral health challenges such as gum disease and dry mouth, supporting strong, healthy teeth and maintaining full oral function.

They have a true passion for their profession
“There are very few dentists that I feel have a true passion for their profession, but it was immediately obvious to me that Dr. Judy is one! I have seen dentists that rush through their work to see as many patients as possible, or present treatment plans that seem unrealistic and possibly not necessary. At Dr.Judy's, I have never felt rushed through my appointments Dr.Judy and his staff always take time to check every aspect of my dental needs, answer my questions and are very thorough with explaining any concerns I have and options of treatment. He has provided me with some long needed cosmetic work that far exceeded my expectations! It was immediately obvious during my appointments how meticulous and knowledgeable he is, giving particular attention to detail and with such a gentle touch! I feel very blessed to have found this office and strongly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional dentist to call and make an appointment to meet him and his staff!
Patient since Sept. 2020”
