Routine checkups can help detect problems early on, preventing more serious and expensive procedures subsequently.
The first step will be for a dentist to clear the teeth plaque. The dentist will then use specific tools to probe areas on the surface and along the gumline. If it has been a while since your last visit, you might be experiencing some soreness and sensitivity.
You must have a dental checkup every six months, or more frequently if your dentist suggests so. Pick a dentist who makes you comfortable and informs you what to anticipate.
