The Dental Checkup Process
A dental checkup is a key part of maintaining a healthy smile. To begin your appointment, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, or other potential concerns. X-rays may be used to detect issues that are not visible on the surface.
Next, your hygienist will professionally clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup for a fresh, polished feel. Your dentist will then review your results, discuss any findings, and provide personalized care tips.
Regular checkups—typically every six months—help prevent problems before they occur and maintain the brightness and health of your smile.
