What's Typically Included in a Dental Checkup?
A routine dental checkup is vital to maintaining a healthy smile. During your visit, a dental hygienist gently cleans your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. Your dentist will then examine your mouth for cavities, gum disease, and signs of oral cancer. If needed, X-rays may be taken for a deeper look. You’ll receive personalized guidance on brushing, flossing, and diet. If additional treatment is recommended, we will discuss all options.
These regular checkups help catch minor issues before they become big problems, keeping your smile bright and your health on track—all in a friendly, professional setting designed to keep you comfortable and informed.
