What Is Dental Checkup?

Did you know that regular dental cleanings and checkups can help prevent up to 80% of common dental issues?

A dental clean and checkup is your first line of defense against cavities, gum disease, and costly dental problems. 

During a checkup, your dentist thoroughly examines your teeth and gums for any signs of trouble, like decay, plaque buildup, or early-stage gum issues, catching potential problems before they turn into painful or expensive fixes. Next comes the professional clean, where dental experts use specialized tools to remove stubborn plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t handle.

FAQs About Dental Checkups & Cleans

  1. How often should I get a dental checkup and clean?
    It’s recommended to visit your dentist every six to 12 months for a checkup and clean. However, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits depending on your oral health needs.

  2. Is a dental clean painful?
    For most people, a dental clean is painless. You may feel mild pressure during plaque and tartar removal, but your hygienist will ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process.

  3. How long does a dental checkup and clean take?
    Typically, a checkup and clean take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your oral health and the extent of plaque buildup.

  4. Why are X-rays sometimes needed?
    X-rays help your dentist detect issues not visible during the physical exam, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, or impacted teeth.

  5. Can my teeth look whiter after a cleaning?
    Yes! A professional cleaning removes surface stains and plaque, sometimes leaving your teeth looking brighter and feeling smoother.

  6. Can a dental cleaning remove deep stains?
    While a cleaning removes surface stains, deeper stains may require additional treatments like teeth whitening for a noticeable improvement.

  7. Is it safe to have a dental clean if I have sensitive teeth?
    Absolutely! Let your hygienist know about your sensitivity—they can use gentler techniques and recommend products to ease discomfort.

  8. What happens if I skip my regular dental cleanings?
    Skipping regular cleanings can lead to plaque buildup, cavities, gum disease, and even tooth loss. Regular visits are key to maintaining a healthy smile and avoiding costly treatments.

  9. Can children have dental checkups and cleans?
    Yes! Children should start regular checkups and cleanings as soon as their first tooth appears or by their first birthday to promote good oral health habits.

  10. How can I prepare for my dental checkup and clean?
    Brush and floss before your appointment, and jot down any questions or concerns to discuss with your dentist during the visit.
