You haven’t been to the dentist in a while, or you keep putting off your next dental checkup and teeth cleaning. Maybe you don’t even remember what happens during these routine visits or why they’re so important.
We encourage you to schedule your next checkup and teeth cleaning today to maintain the health of your smile.
Why Routine Teeth Cleanings and Exams Are Vital
Routine dental visits—every six months—lower your risks for preventable conditions, such as:
- Tooth Decay
- Bad Breath
- Tooth Stains
- Tooth Infections
- Gingivitis
- Gum Disease
Gum disease is particularly concerning because it can have a negative impact on your overall health, including the heart and lungs.
Dental Cleaning and Checkup: What to Expect
Dental checkups and teeth cleanings are generally non-invasive and painless.
For your checkup, you relax in the dental chair while the dentist does a visual exam of your teeth, gums, jaws, and periodontal health. You’ll have an oral cancer screening and x-rays as needed.
During your dental cleaning in Humble, we remove stubborn tartar from your teeth and gums using specialized dental tools. Your toothbrush and floss alone are not enough!
After your checkup, the dentist discusses the findings with you and outlines all treatment options if any oral health issues are identified.
