A routine dental examination is about more than looking for cavities. Regular visits provide an opportunity to monitor gums, bite patterns, oral hygiene, and changes that may not yet be causing symptoms.
What is usually checked?
Your dentist assesses the teeth and gums, discusses any concerns, and determines whether additional examination is needed. The right visit frequency should be tailored to each patient.
