Dental Exams and Check-Ups

Why Get a Dental Exam?

Dental exams give us the opportunity to evaluate your current methods of dental care and provide suggestions for future care in order to protect you from complications such as cavities and gum disease. They also allow us to detect problems early so they can be fixed quickly and easily.

How Often Should You Get a Dental Exam?

Dental exams should generally take place every six months. However, consult with our team to decide how often you should be examined and if you have any risk factors like smoking, frequency of cavities and genetic susceptibility to tooth and root decay as well as gum disease that may impact your dental exam frequency.

What Can I Expect From a Dental Exam?

At a typical dental exam, our team will check for signs of decay and gum disease. X-rays may be performed to provide a more detailed summary of your oral health and to more closely identify any problems.
