Is a dental exam really necessary?

Even if you aren’t experiencing any dental health issues, it is important to maintain a schedule of dental checkups every 6 to 12 months in order to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy. Avoiding your dental exams gives issues you may have not noticed time to worsen. It could also cause new dental health issues because you will not be receiving the preventive care that your dentist provides during regular visits. Even patients with dentures need to visit their dentist regularly to ensure that their dentures still fit properly, and to assess any gum or bone loss that may be occurring.

What can I expect during a dental exam?

Your dentist will evaluate your oral hygiene and overall dental health. Potential issues such as your risk for developing gum disease or bone disease will also be evaluated. Any existing dental health issues such as tooth decay, deposits, stains on teeth and dental root issues will also be assessed to see if they need treatment. X-rays may be taken of your teeth as well. If your dentist notices any oral hygiene issues, they will educate you on proper practices and procedures as well as ensure you’re getting the proper amount of fluoride. If any treatments are needed, your dentist will most likely schedule them at this time.

Catching issues early is important to prevent them from worsening and becoming a larger problem. The caring staff at Buckner Family Dental works hard to ensure that every patient is as comfortable as possible during their visits, and do their best to ensure your checkup is stress-free.
