Dental check-ups play a huge role in improving your smile, dental and general health. By visiting Sinada Dental regularly, you keep your gums and teeth healthy. It also makes it easy for the dentist to identify potential dental issues before they become severe. Your teeth’ condition might alert the dentist if you have a chronic condition associated with poor dental health. Here are the six dental check-ups that you should never skip.

1. General Oral Check-Up

Each routine oral examination should contain a check-up. During this check-up, the dentist looks over your gums, teeth and examination of the face, throat, neck, and head. A thorough tooth cleaning process is also part of this check-up.

2. Gums

To measure the depth of teeth spaces, your gums require a thorough examination. If the spaces are profound, you might be having gum disease. Also, other issues such as mouth sores may present themselves on your gum.

3. Dental X-Rays

X-rays allow the dentist to examine your teeth for any signs of cavities. Not all cavities are visible on the tops of teeth fronts; some occur in parts that are hard to floss and brush between your teeth.

4. Scaling

In the cleaning process, scaling removes tartar and plaque. The dental hygienist uses a special tool to remove tartar and plaque without damaging the teeth.

5. Teeth Polishing

If you polish your teeth, you leave them looking shiny and clean. This helps in making your mouth fresh and removing surface stains.

6. Plaque and Tartar

Parts such as between your teeth may be hard to reach when brushing your teeth, promoting plaque buildup. When the plaque hardens, it forms tartar, which cannot get removed by flossing and brushing. The dentist can reach the hard-to-reach spots and remove plaque and tartar.

Benefits of Regular Oral Check-Ups

You Have Healthy Teeth

Can you imagine how attractive your teeth will appear and feel after expert teeth cleaning? The reason being, all the bad layers get removed, leaving you with healthy teeth. Visit your dentist regularly to keep your teeth healthier.

You Have Healthy Gums

Gums are the ones that support your teeth. Gums are vulnerable to scrapes and cuts or cancer because they are very soft. When you go for a check-up, the dentist will work on the gums to keep them strong and healthy.

Oral Hygiene

Healthy gums and teeth result in fresher breath and good health. To assist in refining your dental care routine, the doctor will offer you some recommendations. In case they notice a swollen part on the gum line, they will treat it so you will be okay during the next visit.

What to Do between Visits

• Brush the teeth twice a day using a soft-bristled brush

• Apply fluoride toothpaste

• Floss at least one time every day

• Wash debris using a mouthwash

• Consider doing at-home spot checks. This will help you identify potential issues such as persistent sores, bad breath, and tooth sensitivity.

• Avoid using tobacco

• Avoid sugary and sticky foods
