Regular dental check-ups are the foundation of good oral health, yet many people underestimate their importance. Visiting your dentist twice a year can save your smile and prevent serious dental problems down the road.
The Importance of Check-Ups
Dental check-ups allow your dentist to:
- Identify and treat cavities before they worsen.
- Detect gum disease in its early stages.
- Screen for oral cancer and other health issues.
- Provide professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar.
What to Expect During a Check-Up
- Cleaning: Your hygienist will clean and polish your teeth, removing plaque and tartar.
- Examination: Your dentist will check your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay or disease.
- X-Rays: If necessary, X-rays will reveal hidden issues like cavities, bone loss, or impacted teeth.

- Maintains a bright, healthy smile.
