Your teeth are supposed to last forever, but 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. Many teeth are lost from preventable issues, like cavities and gum disease. Routine dental appointments are proven to reduce the risk of common dental concerns, including tooth decay and gum disease. Visiting your dentist every 6 months allows us to monitor your oral health for any changes.

Quick detection and treatment prevent a minor issue from turning into a big problem. Researchers have found that $1 of preventive dental care can save up to $50 on restorative and emergency fees. If you have dental insurance, you can get the cleanings and checkups you need for a co-payment.

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

Your dental team may take X-rays of your mouth to ensure your dentist has a complete picture of your oral health. Your dentist will perform a visual examination, checking your teeth, gums, tongue, and oral tissues. They will also examine your bite, neck, and face for any abnormalities. They may perform other diagnostic services, too.

After their examination and reviewing your X-rays, they will discuss their findings with you and if you will require any additional care. They'll take the time to answer your questions and address any concerns to make educated decisions for your dental health.

Our dental hygienist will use special instruments to clean your teeth above and below the gum line. They'll remove plaque and tartar missed when brushing and flossing. Your dental hygienist will learn more about your oral hygiene habits at home and can make suggestions for improvement to keep cavities and gum disease at bay. Your hygienist may also perform other preventive treatments, like fluoride varnish to strengthen your enamel.
