General Oral Checkup
What Is a General Oral Checkup?
A general oral checkup is a routine dental examination that helps maintain your overall oral health.
At The Right Dentist, we recommend visiting your dentist every 6 months for a complete checkup, \to detect early signs of decay, gum disease, or other dental issues before they become serious.
Regular checkups not only keep your teeth clean and strong but also protect your smile, breath, and confidence in the long run.
What Happens During a Dental Checkup?
- Visual Examination: Your dentist inspects your teeth, gums, and mouth for cavities, plaque, or any signs of infection.
- Professional Cleaning: A gentle cleaning removes tartar and plaque buildup that regular brushing can’t reach.
- Cleaning the Root Canals: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inner canals are cleaned and disinfected.
- X-Rays (If Needed): Digital X-rays may be taken to check for underlying issues like tooth decay, bone loss, or impacted teeth.
- Personalized Guidance: You’ll receive oral hygiene tips and a tailored care plan to maintain your dental health at home.
