Regular Dental Checkup

Routine dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. At Bartlesville Family Dental, we focus on preventative dental care to keep your teeth and gums in excellent condition.

Regular Dental Checkups at Bartlesville Family Dental

While brushing and flossing are vital for daily oral hygiene, regular dental checkups take your care to the next level. During these visits, we perform thorough teeth cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. Your dentist will also examine your teeth, gums, and jaw to catch potential issues early, ensuring your long-term oral health.

The Importance of Preventative Dental Care

Dental checkups are a cornerstone of preventative dental care. They allow your dentist to identify and address small issues, like early signs of tooth decay or gum disease, before they become bigger problems. Professional teeth cleaning goes beyond what brushing and flossing can achieve by removing stubborn tartar buildup and reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health complications.

  • How often should you get your teeth cleaned?

    Most patients benefit from a dental checkup and professional teeth cleaning every six months. However, if you have specific oral health needs, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits. Our team will personalize your care plan to ensure your smile stays healthy.

  • What happens during a dental checkup?

    Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

    • Teeth cleaning: Your hygienist will remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, floss thoroughly, and may provide a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel.
    • Dental exam: Your dentist will check for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. They may review X-rays or perform diagnostic procedures to assess your teeth and jaw health and discuss treatment options if necessary.
  • Why are regular checkups important?

    Regular dental checkups are essential for preserving your oral health and preventing more complex dental problems down the road. They provide an opportunity to address minor issues early, keep your teeth clean and strong, and support a lifetime of healthy smiles.
