DENTAL CHECK UP
Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are essential to prevent gum bleeding, tooth loss, bone loss, and gum disease.
Early detection and treatment of cavities help prevent further damage to the tooth structure and stop decay from progressing deeper toward the nerve.
Food particles and plaque tend to build up in hard-to-reach areas — especially around the back molars. This buildup can lead to gum inflammation, bleeding, bad breath, and sometimes an unpleasant taste.
To maintain healthy teeth, gums, and bone, it is important to:
- Brush thoroughly twice a day
- Floss daily
- Rinse with mouthwash
- Thorough oral hygiene before bedtime
During your re-care visits, our hygienists will carefully remove plaque and tartar from the entire mouth — including the back molars and other non-accessible areas — helping you maintain a clean, healthy smile.
What to Expect During Your Visit
- Dental Examination: A dentist will visually inspect your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, or oral cancer. They may also check your bite and jaw alignment.
- X-Rays: Depending on your history and current health, digital X-rays may be taken once a year to detect issues not visible to the naked eye, such as bone loss or decay between teeth.
- Professional Cleaning: A dental hygienist will clean and removes plaque and hardened tartar. They will also floss and polish your teeth to remove surface stains.
