Regular dental check-ups and cleanings help the dental team review your teeth and gums, remove built-up plaque and tartar, and discuss any concerns before they become more complicated.
A check-up is useful for routine prevention, a new concern such as bleeding gums or sensitivity, or when it has been some time since your last dental visit. The clinic can recommend a recall schedule based on your own oral-health needs rather than using one schedule for everyone.
A visit commonly includes a review of your medical and dental history, an examination of teeth and gums, and a professional cleaning. Diagnostic images may be recommended when clinically appropriate. The dentist or hygienist explains any findings, answers questions, and helps you understand your next steps.
The right interval depends on your oral-health history, current findings, and risk factors. Ask the clinic for a recommendation after your assessment.
Only when the dentist considers them clinically appropriate. The team can explain what information the images may provide.
Tell the team when you book or arrive. They can discuss ways to make the visit more manageable and whether sedation dentistry may be appropriate for your situation.
