What happens during a routine dental check-up?
A routine dental check-up is a two-part appointment. First, your dentist or dental hygienist will perform a professional teeth cleaning, which involves scaling to remove plaque and tartar and polishing to remove stains and smooth the teeth. Next, the dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. This includes checking for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. They will also perform an oral cancer screening and may take X-rays to see what is happening below the gum line and inside the teeth.
Why are routine dental check-ups so important?
Routine check-ups are crucial for maintaining long-term oral and overall health. They allow for the early detection of dental problems like cavities and gum disease before they become serious and require more invasive treatments. Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that you can't get rid of with brushing alone, helping to prevent future issues. The dentist can also catch signs of more serious conditions, like oral cancer, in their early, more treatable stages.
How often should I go for a dental check-up?
For most people, a dental check-up every six months is recommended. However, the ideal frequency can vary based on your individual oral health. If you have a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or other ongoing dental issues, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits (e.g., every three or four months). Conversely, if you have excellent oral health and a low risk for dental problems, your dentist might be comfortable seeing you once a year. Your dental team will recommend a schedule that is right for you.
