Dental Examination and Routine Check-ups

Why Are Routine Dental Check-ups So Important?

Protecting your oral health is not just about brushing your teeth. Dental caries, gum diseases, and other oral pathologies often show no symptoms in the early stages. Therefore, Routine Dental Examinations are vital to detect problems before they grow.

Routine checks are the most certain way to prevent serious and costly treatments.

Key Benefits

• Early Diagnosis: Early signs of decay and gum disease are detected early.
• Preventive Care: Tartar cleaning and preventive applications are performed.
• Cost Saving: High-cost treatments are prevented by solving small problems before they grow.

What Awaits You in Routine Checks?

In a comprehensive check-up that usually takes 30-45 minutes, the following steps are followed:

1. Comprehensive Examination: Teeth, gums, tongue, and jaw joint are checked.
2. Radiographic Examination: X-rays are taken when deemed necessary for hidden caries.
3. Scaling: Tartar and plaque are cleaned with professional instruments.
4. Personalized Planning: The next check-up date is determined according to your risk status.

How Often Should I Have an Examination?

The generally accepted frequency is every 6 months. However, for patients with high caries risk, this period can be reduced to 3-4 months.
