Check-Up and Clean for Adults
Visiting the dentist for a check-up at least twice a year is important. During a typical visit, dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, perform cleaning and polishing, provide oral care advice, and answer any questions.
Regular check-ups are essential for early detection and treatment of oral health problems. Issues like tooth decay can develop silently, potentially leading to more complex and costly dental emergencies. Routine exams help catch these problems early, making treatment simpler.
Frequent deep cleanings are also crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
Check-Up and Clean for Children
When should children have their first dental visit?
The first dental visit should occur when the first teeth emerge or by age 1, whichever comes first.
What happens at the visit when a baby only has a few teeth?
The dentist will check the health of your child’s teeth and discuss:
- Tooth-friendly foods and drinks
- Tips for brushing and flossing
- Appropriate toothpaste use
- Habits like using a dummy or thumb-sucking
- Teething guidance
- What to expect as your child continues to grow
Regular dental check-ups for children are essential for detecting potential oral issues early and ensuring their teeth grow healthy and strong.
