How Often Should You Have a Dental Exam?

Even if you have no noticeable signs of oral health problems, it’s still important to visit your dentist regularly. Our preventative approach combines our experience and high-end dental equipment to keep your gums and teeth healthy.

In agreement with the Canadian Dental Association, we recommend coming in for an exam at least once every 6 months. We may suggest more frequent exams, depending on your specific needs.

What to Expect From a Dental Exam

A dental exam allows your dentist to take an in-depth look at your mouth to monitor for signs of anything that could impact your overall oral health. We’ll discuss your medical history and any issues you may be experiencing.

What We Examine

Damaged or decaying teeth
Signs of cavities
Gum disease
Oral cancer
The spacing of your teeth and bite
Signs of clenching or grinding
Inflammation
The function of your temporomandibular joint and signs of TMJ

What to Expect From a Dental Cleaning

Just like a complete dental exam, our dental cleaning helps maintain good oral health and prevent issues such as tooth decay and cavities, gum disease, or infection from arising.

Don’t worry; we’ll try not to ask you too many questions while performing our cleanings!
