Many patients visit the dentist only when a tooth starts to hurt. But that is a bad strategy. At early stages, tooth decay and gum inflammation may not cause any discomfort. Yet, they will continue to develop. All dental diseases progress linearly: if they appear once, pulpit or periodontitis won’t go away on their own without treatment. The ID Dent dental clinic awaits you for a preventive checkup. Consultation and examination by experienced dentists are comfortable, painless, and effective. Trust your smile’s beauty and health to us!
The prevalence and intensity of oral diseases are influenced by changes in nutritional character and regime, emotional and physical stresses, as well as the level of hygienic culture and the degree of motivation for preventive measures.
Why is a Preventive Dental Checkup Necessary?
A dental examination plays a crucial role in maintaining oral cavity health. A dentist can detect and prevent the development of oral diseases at early stages. Regular preventive checkups help identify tooth decay, periodontitis, gingivitis, and other diseases, allowing for timely intervention before the problem becomes serious.
During the examination, the dentist performs professional teeth cleaning, removing plaque and tartar. And also provides useful recommendations for home oral care, helping to choose products for oral hygiene. It’s an effective prevention of dental diseases.
Why Shouldn’t You Skip Preventive Checkups?
Preventive checkups help prevent serious oral diseases like deep tooth decay, periodontitis, or abscess. Early treatment and monitoring of teeth and gums keep complications from arising, preserving oral health.
Additionally, timely preventative checkups are:
- critical for maintaining a bright smile;
- timely professional hygiene;
- beneficial for overall body health.
The checkup also offers recommendations and advice for proper dental and gum care. The dentist can demonstrate the correct technique for brushing teeth, discuss the selection of suitable hygiene products, and offer recommendations to maintain oral health at home.
How Often Are Dental Checkups Required?
Dental checkups are required once every 6 months. Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment and those prone to dental and gum issues are advised to follow an individualized schedule.
Don’t skip visits to the dentist: the doctor can identify any gum diseases early on and provide effective treatment.
Indications for a Preventive Dental Visit
If you haven’t visited a dentist for more than 6 months, it’s time for a preventive checkup. Don’t ignore a dentist visit even if nothing bothers you. Don’t wait for a toothache or any other unpleasant symptoms to appear.
And if you notice:
- increased teeth sensitivity;
- bad breath;
- toothache;
- gum bleeding
it is crucial to visit a dentist as soon as possible—on the nearest possible date.
How to Prepare for a Dental Checkup?
Before the appointment, it’s important to brush your teeth thoroughly, using a soft-bristle toothbrush, dental floss, and mouthwash. Serious preparation isn’t necessary. If you have allergies to medications, latex, etc., inform your dentist.
What Happens During a Dental Checkup?
A dental checkup usually involves the following steps:
- Medical history. The dentist will ask several health-related questions, past oral health issues, treatments, and medications you’re using. This will help form a comprehensive picture of your oral health and assess risks of oral diseases.
- Visual examination. The doctor will visually examine the mouth, including teeth, gums, tongue, cheeks, and lips. They will check for signs of tooth decay, plaque, tartar, gum inflammation, or other problems.
- X-ray examination. If necessary, the dentist may recommend an X-ray for detailed insights into teeth and underlying tissues. X-rays reveal cavities between teeth, assess root condition, and evaluate the jaw’s bone tissue.
- Gum health assessment. The dentist evaluates the gums, assessing color and texture. This identifies inflammation signs, gingivitis, or periodontitis.
- Professional teeth cleaning. Post-examination, the dentist will clean your teeth professionally, removing plaque and tartar using special tools.
After the examination, the dentist will discuss findings and offer oral care recommendations. They may teach proper brushing techniques, recommend hygiene products, floss, or mouthwash. If any issues are detected, a treatment plan and necessary procedures will be discussed.
