Our team provides comprehensive dental checkups that help prevent decay and identify any potential issues early on.
Routine Dental Checkups at Precision Dental
While daily brushing and flossing are essential for supporting oral health, they’re only part of the equation. Regular dental checkups at Precision Dental play a vital role in preventative dental care. During these visits, our experienced dental team will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that daily brushing can’t eliminate. Additionally, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw for any signs of dental problems, helping to catch issues early before they develop into more serious conditions.

How often should I schedule a dental checkup?
For optimal oral health, we recommend scheduling a dental checkup every six months. This frequency allows our dentists to monitor your oral health closely and address any concerns promptly. However, if you have specific dental issues or a history of gum disease, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits. Regular checkups are key to supporting a healthy smile and preventing major dental problems down the line.

What happens during a routine dental checkup?
During a routine dental checkup at Precision Dental, your visit will typically begin with a professional teeth cleaning. This process includes removing plaque and tartar buildup, polishing your teeth, and flossing. After the cleaning, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw, checking for cavities, gum disease, or other potential issues. X-rays may also be taken to provide a more detailed view of your oral health and ensure that any problems are detected and treated early.

Can regular checkups prevent major dental issues?
Yes, regular dental checkups are a critical part of preventative dental care and can significantly reduce the risk of major dental issues. By catching problems like cavities, gum disease, or early signs of oral cancer in their first stages, our dentists can provide treatment before these issues become more severe and costly.
