What is a dental checkup?

Also known as routine dental care or a recall appointment, dental checkups include:

  • Physical examination of the smile
  • X-rays of the teeth and bone
  • Thorough dental cleaning by our dental hygienist
  • Time to ask questions about future treatments

This appointment should be attended at least twice a year, allowing patients to maintain their oral health and wellness. The examination is necessary to monitor the smile for signs of serious problems such as periodontal disease and dental decay. Patients can also take this time to speak to their dentist about imperfections of the smile they may want to improve with dental treatments and the solutions available for future procedures. We want our patients to be open and honest with our dental professionals about what they would like to gain from their long-standing relationship with our dental staff.

Why are routine appointments necessary?

While brushing and flossing the teeth at home is one way to keep the smile healthy, patients also need to understand the importance of routine visits with their dentist. Being proactive about your oral health will not only keep your smile healthy but also allow you to lower the cost of your dental treatments over a lifespan dramatically. This is because a proactive approach to dental health and wellness ensures that conditions that may be damaging to the smile are caught early enough for successful intervention from our dental staff. Signs of problems including periodontal disease and tooth decay can be caught earlier and treated before they become worse.
