Why Are Dental Checkups Important?

Regular dental visits offer numerous benefits:

  2. Preventive Care: Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar to prevent decay and gum disease.
  3. Oral Health Education: Learn proper brushing, flossing, and dietary habits.
  4. Customized Care Plans: Address unique needs with tailored recommendations.
  5. Cost Savings: Avoid costly treatments by addressing problems early.

What to Expect During a Checkup

  1. Comprehensive Oral Exam: Assess teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
  2. Professional Cleaning: Remove buildup and polish your teeth.
  3. X-Rays (if needed): Identify hidden issues such as cavities or bone loss.
  4. Discussion: Provide insights and tips for maintaining oral health.

Tips for Oral Health Maintenance Between Visits

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.
