What Are Dental Checkups and Cleanings, and Why Are They Important?

Frequent dental exams enable the early identification of many dental health concerns, reducing the time and expense required for treatment and preventing them from becoming serious issues. Oral health checkups allow our dentist to thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth. While professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup.

According to the National Library of Medicine, dental examinations every six months can lower the incidence of tooth loss in adults with risk factors (such as diabetes and smoking). Additionally, routine dental examinations allow patients to receive a precise assessment of their current state of oral health.

What Happens During A Checkup and Cleaning?

Examination: Our trusted dental professionals will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums during your visit to detect any existing or potential problems. If needed, digital X-rays may be taken, which allow us to work with you to develop a treatment plan that works best for you and your lifestyle. Digital X-rays assist us in identifying hidden problems such as infection and cavities between teeth.

Cleaning: Our dental hygienist will remove any tartar or plaque accumulated on your teeth during the cleaning. To make your teeth appear healthy and radiant, they will also polish them.

How To Maintain Oral Health In Between Appointments

• Brushing: Spend two minutes brushing twice a day. Use tiny, circular brushstrokes for every tooth.
• Flossing: Cleaning in between your teeth once a day helps prevent gum disease. You can use picks, water flossers, dental floss, floss holders, or tiny brushes.
• Mouth rinsing: Various mouth rinses are available that can help reduce plaque, prevent cavities, and freshen breath.
