What Happens at a Dental Checkup?

A dental checkup, also known as a routine dental exam, is a scheduled visit where your dentist checks the health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. During your appointment, we assess for cavities, plaque buildup, gum disease, bite issues, and other signs of oral health concerns that may require attention.

Our team goes beyond the basics by using tools like CBCT scanners and intraoral digital scans for detailed imaging. These technologies allow us to catch potential problems early and plan treatments more accurately and comfortably.

How Often Should I Get a Dental Exam?

For most people, we recommend scheduling a dental exam and cleaning every 6 months. However, some patients may benefit from more frequent visits, especially if they have a history of gum disease, orthodontic appliances, or specific medical conditions.

Not sure how often you should come in? Our team will work with you to build a schedule based on your unique needs.

The Importance of Regular Dental Cleanings

Dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. Left untreated, these deposits can lead to cavities, gum disease, and even tooth loss.

Our practice uses Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a thorough and modern method for cleaning teeth. GBT uses a combination of air polishing and disclosing agents to remove harmful biofilm with minimal discomfort. It’s effective for both adults and children and especially helpful for those with sensitive teeth or dental anxiety.

What to Expect in Your Child’s Exam

We welcome children of all ages and take pride in creating positive dental experiences from the start. During your child’s exam, we’ll gently assess their teeth and gums, check for early signs of cavities or misalignment, and talk to you about preventive care at home.

We’ll also cover key topics like:

Baby oral care and caring for your child’s first teeth
Brushing and flossing techniques tailored for different ages
Cavity prevention, including tips for healthy snacking
When to consider orthodontic evaluations

Our goal is to help your child feel confident and involved in their oral health care, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy habits.

Focused on Patient Comfort

We know that dental visits can be stressful for some patients. That’s why we’ve created a calm, welcoming space with thoughtful touches, such as weighted blankets, and a caring, anxiety-aware team. Our goal is to help you feel relaxed from the moment you arrive.

Whether it’s your first visit or your child’s next checkup, we’re here to make every appointment as comfortable and personalized as possible.
