Routine Examinations

A routine dental examination is a preventive check-up that typically occurs every 6 to 12 months. Its purpose is to monitor your oral health, catch problems early, and maintain good hygiene.

Dental health examinations provide:

  • Medical and dental history review
  • Visual oral examination of teeth, gums, tongue, cheeks, roof of mouth, jaw and bite
  • Checking for signs of oral cancer for early detection
  • X-rays, where clinically necessary, for an in-depth examination of your oral health
  • Discussion of oral hygiene habits and hygiene visit recommendations
  • Recommendations and treatment plans for issues to be addresse

Benefits

Early detection of cavities, gum disease, and other oral issues before they become serious or painful.

Helps avoid more invasive and expensive treatments later (like root canals or tooth extractions).

Longer lasting natural teeth as regular examinations help preserve your teeth and gums and help reduce the risk of tooth loss due to decay or gum disease.

Early detection of oral cancer, a quick painless part of the examination which can be life threatening if not caught early.

Cost savings as preventive care is more cost effective than treating advanced dental problems and early intervention = fewer emergencies and less extensive dental work.

Better overall health as oral health is closely linked to systemic health, gum disease is associated with heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Mouth infections can spread if left untreated.

Confidence and appearance - clean, healthy teeth can boost self-esteem and encourage smiling.
