Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?

While it might seem like a good idea to wait until you notice an oral health problem before you visit a dentist, this can allow destructive infections to fester for long times and make potentially costly and time-consuming restorative work necessary. Regular checkups and cleanings can prevent oral health issues such as cavities and gum disease or allow them to be addressed in their early stages, which will help you stay comfortable and healthy while saving you time and money in the long run. Dental insurance plans often cover routine exams and cleanings completely, and these appointments can help you avoid nasty oral health problems like abscesses and tooth loss.

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

During your checkup, our dentist will carefully examine your teeth, gums, bite alignment, and existing dental work to make sure your mouth is in good shape, and he’ll also screen your soft tissues for signs of serious problems like oral cancer. Depending on how long it has been since you last received them, we may take X-rays to check for issues in your gums and jaws. If we detect any problems, we’ll schedule you for an appropriate treatment to resolve them, and we’ll answer any questions you have about your treatment or how you should take care of your teeth. Our team will also review your medical history and list of medications and update them as necessary.

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning

Even if you have near-perfect oral hygiene habits, regular dental cleanings from a qualified professional are still essential to clean the hard-to-reach areas in your mouth. During the cleaning process, our dentist will use specialized instruments to carefully remove tartar and plaque from the teeth and gums, which will reduce your risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Our team will also floss and polish your teeth to remove minor surface stains. We may also recommend fluoride treatment to reinforce your enamel.
