Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
A lot of the time, it can be hard to convince patients that they need to come visit their dentist even when their mouth doesn’t hurt. However, checkups and cleanings are arguably the most important dental care that you can get.
Even if you’re diligent with your oral hygiene, there are bound to be places in your mouth that you aren’t going to be able to reach with brushing and flossing alone. If nothing is done, plaque and tartar will build up in those parts of your mouth and cause serious oral health problems—professional cleanings can address that.
Checkups are also an opportunity to for your dentist to detect issues before they become serious, saving you a lot of time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
The first step when you visit us for a checkup will be to take a look at your mouth as a whole, closely examining your gums, teeth, bite, and existing dental work. Around once a year, we’ll also perform a dental x-ray to look beneath the surface and check for damage.
Another important component of the checkup is the oral cancer exam, wherein we examine the soft tissues in the mouth for any abnormalities and check the neck for swollen lymph nodes.
Finally, we’ll take the time to create a treatment plan with you if we find any potential issues. Otherwise, we’ll answer any questions you have about your teeth and update your medical history.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
The point of a professional cleaning is to reach places that can’t be cleaned easily with daily dental hygiene. We have specialized tools that can be used to scrape plaque from between the teeth, under the gum line, and in the very back of the mouth. We’ll also be able to break up tartar deposits that have accumulated in the mouth. After this is done, we’ll floss and polish your teeth, leaving you with that straight-from-the-dentist clean feeling.
