What Is a Dental Exam & Check-Up?
Regular dental exams are essential to maintaining overall health. During the exam, your dentist will inspect your teeth and gums, looking for signs of gum disease, cavities, and infection. They may take digital X-rays, which will alert your dentist to any significant changes in your oral health.
- Why do I need a dental exam?
- To maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.
- To prevent decay, infection, gum disease, and tooth loss.
- To catch issues early, before they become more expensive.
- Does it hurt?
- Not at all. Your dentist will make sure you are comfortable during the exam. If you need digital X-rays, they are painless and take less than 30 seconds to complete.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Exams & Check-Ups
If my teeth feel fine, do I need to go to the dentist?
Yes! Your dental exams and check-ups will allow your dentist to find and treat issues before they become expensive. It may be the difference between a filling and a root canal or extraction. This preventative care saves you time, money, and – potentially – pain!
How often should I get a dental exam?
We generally recommend dental exams, check-ups, and cleanings twice a year. If you have had gum disease in the past, we may recommend you come in a bit more often. Behind on your check-up? We’ll never judge! We know you’re busy and things come up.
How can I prepare for a dental exam?
Brush your teeth and floss before your appointment. Your dentist may ask you questions about your oral healthcare routine at home. Please be honest. We’re here to help.
What if I have a specific dental concern?
Tell us! Your dentist needs to know your dental history as well as any concerns you have. If there is a specific area of concern, we’ll be sure to address it.

Please speak up! We see and help patients with dental anxiety every day. We offer many dental sedation options to keep you relaxed.
