Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?

While some people might think they only need to see a dentist if they can detect an oral health problem, this can allow nasty infections to fester and cause serious damage. Regular checkups and cleanings allow our dentist to monitor your oral health, address problems in their early stages, and recommend ways for you to take better care of your teeth at home. This can save you from severe oral pain, permanent dental damage, and the expense of costly restorative treatments.

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

During your routine dental checkup, our dentist will carefully inspect your teeth, gums, bite alignment, and existing dental work for signs of infection, damage, and oral cancer, and you’ll also probably receive X-rays to check for issues in your internal oral anatomy. If we detect any problems, we’ll design an appropriate treatment plan to restore your oral health and prevent further damage. We’ll also answer any questions you have about how you should be taking care of your teeth and review and update your medical history as necessary.

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning

Even if you brush and floss your teeth every day, it is impossible for you to clean some parts of your mouth on your own. Professional dental cleanings allow a qualified hygienist to use specialized instruments to remove plaque, tartar, and food debris from your teeth and gumline to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. We’ll also polish your teeth to lift minor surface stains, and we may recommend fluoride treatment to reinforce your enamel.
