Routine Dental Check Ups
REGULAR EXAMS AND CLEANINGS
You may assume you should have a dental check-up every 6 months, but some people may not need to go so often and others may need more frequent checks.
Your dentist will suggest when you should have your next check-up based on how good your oral health is.
Regular exams are an important part of maintaining your oral health. Leaving problems untreated could make them more difficult to treat in the future, so it’s best to deal with problems early, or, if possible, prevent them altogether.
During your regular exam, we will:
Check for any problems that you may not see or feel
Look for cavities or any other signs of tooth decay
Inspect your teeth and gums for gingivitis and signs of periodontal disease
Give you advice on, your diet, smoking and alcohol use, and teeth-cleaning habits.
Discuss a date for your next visit.
