What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

1. Thorough Examination: We’ll examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other issues.
2. Professional Cleaning: Our hygienist will clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar, and polish them for a smooth finish.
3. X-rays: If necessary, we’ll take X-rays to get a detailed view of your teeth and jaw structure.
4. Oral Cancer Screening: Early detection of oral cancer is critical, so we include a screening as part of your checkup.
5. Consultation: We’ll discuss any findings and recommend treatments or preventive measures to maintain your oral health.
