Dental Checkup in Thornhill
Overview
Maintaining regular dental check-ups is essential for a healthy smile and overall oral health. Dental professionals recommend visiting the dentist at least twice a year, or more frequently if necessary. These routine visits typically include a thorough examination and a professional cleaning by a dental hygienist.
What happens during a dental check-up?
During your appointment, the dentist will assess the health of your teeth, gums, and bite. If necessary, X-rays may be taken to detect any underlying issues that aren’t visible during a standard exam.
The dentist or hygienist will also check for signs of decay by gently probing the teeth and identifying any soft or sticky areas. Your gum health will be evaluated by measuring the depth of the pockets between your teeth and gums.
Additionally, a brief oral cancer screening will be performed to check for any unusual spots or lesions inside the mouth.
Why are routine dental visits important?
Regular check-ups play a key role in preventing dental issues and keeping your oral health on track. These visits also provide an opportunity to receive personalized advice on improving your at-home oral care routine. If you need a refresher on proper brushing and flossing techniques, our Thornhill dental team is always happy to offer guidance.
If it’s been more than six months since your last dental visit, now is the perfect time to schedule an appointment. Contact our Thornhill dental office today—we look forward to helping you maintain a bright, healthy smile!
