Even though you may be
apprehensive about going to the
dentist, you should know the
importance of dental cleanings.
This may make you feel more at
ease with getting a dental
checkup. Your dental health is
connected to your overall
health, so when your teeth and
gums are in good shape, you
may experience general well-
being.
It’s also important to get regular
checkups at the dentist so you can
receive the treatment you need for
your teeth and gums in the early
stages. When you wait too long to
treat conditions like decaying teeth
or gum disease, the condition can
worsen and cause problems in other
parts of the body.
Failing to remove decaying teeth as
soon as possible can also result in the
removal of additional teeth, which
could lead to expensive dental
procedures like implants or veneers.
Going to the dental regularly ensure
that your gums and teeth remain
healthy. It’s best to visit the dental
every 6 months or according to your
dentist’s schedule for you.
Your Dental Exam
There are two main parts to a
conventional dental visit. You’ll
receive a checkup or exam and have
your teeth cleaned, then you’ll get
oral prophylaxis.
At your checkup, your dentist will
check to see if you have any cavities.
Your dentist may also take X-rays of
your teeth to see if there are any
cavities that can’t be detected with
the naked eye.
During your dental exam, your
dental professional will take a good
look at your teeth to look for plaque
and tartar. Plaque is a clear layer of
bacteria with a sticky texture. If the
plaque isn’t removed from your
teeth, it will harden and become
tartar. You can’t get rid of tartar by
simply brushing and flossing. If you
have too much plaque and tartar
buildup, this can lead to oral disease.
Next, you’ll get a gum exam. A
special tool is used to measure how
deep the spaces are between your
gums and teeth. If your gums are
healthy, the spaces will be shallow.
Deeper spaces could be a sign of gum
disease.
During your checkup, the dentist will
also inspect your throat, face, tongue,
neck and head. The dentist search for
any warning signs of cancer and
other health issues that could cause
redness and swelling.
Teeth Cleaning
After your dental exam, your teeth
are cleaned. While brushing and
flossing will help remove some
plaque from your teeth, you can’t get
rid of all the tartar on your teeth at
home. During your cleaning, your
dentist will use specialized tools to
remove tartar. This process is known
as scaling.
After scaling, your teeth are polished.
Most of the time, your dentist will use
a grit-like paste to polish your teeth
and remove stains on the surface.
Finally, your dental professional will
floss your teeth so that all the areas
between your teeth are clean.
What To Do Between Dental Visits
Make sure you care for your gums
and teeth between your regular
dental visits. Plaque is continually
developing on your teeth, but you
can reduce it by brushing and
flossing daily.
It’s important to brush your teeth at
least twice a day and use a toothpaste
with fluoride. Floss every day as well,
and use a mouthwash that will
control plaque bacteria in your
mouth. This keeps plaque at bay and
keep your breath fresh.
Here are a few quick facts to
remember about your dental
checkup that will make you feel
more comfortable with going to
the dentist:
Remember that going to the dentist
twice a year is important for your oral
health. There are two main parts to a
routine checkup — the exam and the
cleaning. Your dentist will inspect
your overall oral health and check for
any illnesses or symptoms that may
require further treatment. During
your cleaning, the dentist will get rid
of tartar and plaque buildup and may
polish your teeth to rid your teeth of
stubborn stains.

canal as well to help restore and
