Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Many patients are curious why they have to visit their dentist every six months if they brush consistently and they aren’t experiencing any abnormal dental symptoms. Well, there are several reasons! One of the most noteworthy ones is that a portion of your checkup is dedicated to an oral cancer screening. Additionally, annual X-rays and visual exams allow your dental team to catch serious oral health issues, like cavities and gum disease, before they develop to the point where intensive and costly treatments are needed. Simply put, your biannual visits benefit the condition of your teeth, your overall well-being, your wallet, and more – so don’t skip them.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
For your checkup, you’ll meet with one of our dedicated Jacksonville dentists. Your appointment will begin with a few questions, like if you’ve been experiencing any pain or sensitivity recently. Then, they will take a look at your X-rays and conduct a visual exam, assessing the condition of your teeth, gums, bite, and restorations in the process. After this step is complete, they will review their findings with you and give you their recommendations on the next best steps – from keeping up the good work to scheduling the necessary restorative care.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
During your dental cleaning, one of our talented team members will use special tools to carefully clean your teeth and along your gumline. If they see anything concerning, like an area of your mouth with more plaque buildup than usual, they will bring it to your attention and give you some tips on how to tweak your oral hygiene routine to fix it. Before you leave, they will also thoroughly floss and polish your teeth, ensuring your smile looks and feels great when you leave.
