Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Brushing and flossing remove food residue and plaque, but they can't reach everywhere in your mouth. Only a trained dental professional can clean these hard-to-reach areas. Besides a cleaning, regular checkups allow your dental team to monitor your oral health to detect anything concerning while it is still small. Not only does this help you avoid tooth loss, but it also reduces your risk of costly dental treatments later.
Researchers have found that every $1 of preventive care may save up to $50 on emergency and restorative fees. Preventive dentistry is an investment in a healthy mouth and body.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
Your dentist may recommend having X-rays of your mouth taken to have a complete picture of your dental health. The high-quality images will allow them to see every detail below the surface. They can check for various issues, like infections or bone loss. They will also perform a visual examination, checking your teeth, gums, tongue, and other oral tissues. Your dentist will examine your bite, neck, and oral structures to look for any abnormalities. Your dentist will review their findings with you and discuss if you require any treatment.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
In addition to a thorough checkup, you'll also benefit from a dental cleaning. Your hygienist will use special dental instruments to remove the buildup left behind from brushing and flossing. They will let you know about areas you need to clean better and may have other suggestions to keep your mouth clean and healthy. Your dental hygienist may also recommend additional preventive treatments, like fluoride varnish or dental sealants.
Preventive appointments can be covered 100% by your dental insurance for a co-pay. You can get the cleanings and checkups you need for minimal out-of-pocket expenses.
