Process of a Dental Checkup
Medical History Review
Our dental team reviews your medical and dental history, including any medications, allergies, or recent health changes.
Visual Examination
Your dentist or hygienist examines your mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, or other abnormalities.
Dental X-rays (If Needed)
X-rays may be taken to detect issues not visible to the naked eye, such as decay between teeth or problems with the jawbone.
Professional Cleaning
Your dental hygienist uses special tools to remove plaque and tartar from teeth, polish teeth to remove surface stains, and apply fluoride if recommended.
Evaluation by the Dentist
Your dentist evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. They’ll discuss any findings, make recommendations, and answer your questions.
Treatment Planning
If any issues are found, your dentist will explain treatment options and may schedule follow-up procedures.
FAQ
-
How often should I get a dental checkup?
-
What happens during a dental cleaning?
During a dental cleaning, a hygienist removes plaque and tartar, polishes teeth, flosses, and checks gum health. This helps prevent decay and gum disease while maintaining a fresh, healthy smile.
-
Do you offer fluoride treatments during checkups?
Our team will recommend fluoride treatments based on your oral health needs. Fluoride treatment during a cleaning strengthens enamel, helps prevent cavities, reduces sensitivity, and supports long-term oral health by strengthening teeth against acid from plaque and sugary foods.
