Routine Exams
Providing Everything You Need
Welcome
During a routine dental exam, we will typically examine your teeth and gums for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. We may also take digital radiographs to get a closer look at your teeth. Additionally, our dentist may perform a cleaning to remove any plaque or tartar buildup and offer advice on how to maintain good oral health.

So don't wait until you experience tooth pain or notice visible signs of decay – schedule a routine dental examination today! Your smile will thank you for it.
What to Expect
At your dental checkup, your dentist will:
-
Perform a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums
-
Ask questions about your overall health and any dental issues you've had since your last appointment
-
Ask questions about your diet
-
Advise you on ways to improve your oral hygiene and general teeth-cleaning habits
-
Recommend treatment or other measures for dental problems, if necessary
At the end of the appointment, your dentist should suggest a date for your next visit. Your dentist will take into account your current oral health and risk of developing problems when scheduling your next checkup.
How Often
One of the common questions people have about dental examinations is how often they should get one. For most adults, it is recommended to visit the dentist for a routine examination at least once every six months. However the frequency of your dental visits can vary depending on various factors, including your oral health and any specific issues you may be experiencing. If you have gum or other periodontal issues, your dentist may recommend more frequent check-ups, such as every three to four months. Similarly, if you have a history tooth decay or are prone to developing cavities, more regular visits might be advised.
