What to expect during a preventive check-up?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
    \n
  • Overall dental assessment<\/strong> \u2014 the dentist will check your teeth, fillings, crowns, implants, and the condition of your gums.<\/li>\n
  • X-rays or 3D scans<\/strong> \u2014 help reveal what is not visible to the naked eye (e.g. an incipient cavity between teeth or inflammation under a crown).<\/li>\n
  • Soft tissue examination<\/strong> \u2014 the check-up also includes an examination of the tongue, cheeks, and other structures of the oral cavity for any changes.<\/li>\n
  • Recommendations for further care<\/strong> \u2014 if needed, the dentist will suggest the next steps: dental hygiene, tooth repair, or simply a reminder of proper brushing techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    How often should you have a check-up?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    We recommend adults attend once every six months<\/strong>.
    \nFor children and pregnant women, insurance may cover check-ups twice a year<\/strong>.
    \nPatients at higher risk (e.g. periodontitis, implants, orthodontic treatment) may need more frequent monitoring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Why is prevention so important?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
      \n
    • It catches problems early.<\/strong> A small cavity can be treated painlessly before it turns into a big problem.<\/li>\n
    • It protects your gums and bone.<\/strong> Gum inflammation or periodontitis often goes unnoticed for a long time.<\/li>\n
    • It helps you save money.<\/strong> Prevention is always cheaper than treatment.<\/li>\n
    • It increases the chance of saving a tooth.<\/strong> The earlier a problem is detected, the greater the chance of keeping the tooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
