Regular dental exams are one of the most important things you can do for your oral health. During an exam, your dentist checks for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other conditions that may not be causing symptoms yet but could become serious if left untreated.
A typical dental exam includes a visual examination of your teeth and gums, X-rays to detect hidden problems, an oral cancer screening, and a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Your dentist will also review your oral hygiene habits and make personalized recommendations.
Most dental professionals recommend an exam and cleaning every six months. At My Scottsdale Dentist, we make it easy to stay on track with convenient scheduling and a welcoming office environment.
