Dental Check-ups: Your Key to Oral Health

What Happens During a Dental Check-Up?

A dental check-up is a routine examination that helps maintain your oral health and prevent potential issues. During each visit, your dentist will:

• Examine Your Teeth, Gums, and Mouth: This involves a thorough inspection of your mouth to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer screening or other dental problems.
• Inquire About Your General Health: Your dentist will ask about any changes in your health or medications, as these can affect your oral health.
• Discuss Any Issues Since Your Last Visit: It’s important to inform your dentist about any pain, sensitivity, or concerns you’ve experienced.
• Provide Advice on Diet, Smoking, and Alcohol Use: Lifestyle choices can significantly impact your oral health, and your dentist can offer guidance on how to minimize risks.
• Review Your Teeth-Cleaning Habits: Proper oral hygiene is crucial, and your dentist can suggest improvements to your daily routine.
• Schedule Your Next Appointment: Regular check-ups are essential for maintaining oral health, and your dentist will recommend an appropriate interval for your next visit.
