How Often Should You Schedule a Dental Exam?
For most patients, we recommend a check-up every six months. However, your individual needs may vary. Depending on factors like a history of cavities, smoking, or genetic predisposition to gum disease, we may suggest more frequent visits to ensure optimal oral health.
What to Expect During Your Dental Exam
During your appointment, our team will:
✔ Thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup to prevent decay and gum disease.
✔ Check for early signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns.
✔ Take X-rays if needed to detect issues that may not be visible to the naked eye.
✔ Discuss your oral hygiene routine and offer personalized tips to help you improve your at-home care.
Our goal is to keep your smile healthy, bright, and free from discomfort.
How to Prepare for Your Dental Exam
Before your visit, practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Arriving with clean teeth helps us focus on the harder-to-reach areas during your professional cleaning. Be ready to share any relevant medical history, dental concerns, or insurance details with our team.
Most importantly, don’t worry if your dental habits haven’t been perfect—we’re here to help, not judge! Our team is dedicated to working with you to improve your oral health. Before you leave, we’ll schedule your next appointment to keep you on track.
