What Happens During a Dental Checkup?
A dental checkup allows your dentist to carefully examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. During your visit, we may:
- Check for cavities or tooth decay
- Examine your gums for signs of gum disease
- Evaluate existing dental restorations such as fillings or crowns
- Look for signs of wear, damage, or bite issues
- Take dental X-rays when needed
These exams help identify concerns early, often before symptoms appear.
