You can expect the following steps during your dental checkup:
Oral and dental examination: The dentist will examine your teeth, gums and oral tissues.
X-rays: If necessary, your dentist may order x-rays to better see problems between or under the teeth.
Scaling: Your dentist can help prevent gum disease by removing tartar.
Treatment planning: If any problems are detected, your dentist will inform you about the recommended treatments and follow-up plan.
Regular dental checkups can help prevent potential problems with early diagnosis and treatment. If you have dental health problems or need specific treatment, you can discuss these issues in detail with your dentist.
