Why Preventive Care Matters
Preventive care is your first line of defense against dental issues that can compromise your health and self-confidence. Regular checkups:
- Spot Issues Early: Early detection can prevent minor issues from evolving into major dental concerns that require extensive treatment.
- Save Time and Money: Tackling dental problems in their infancy is quicker, less invasive, and more cost-effective.
- Maintain Oral Health: A bi-annual dental review ensures your teeth and gums stay healthy, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhance Overall Well-being: A healthy mouth is often the key to a healthy body.
Signs It's Time to Visit the Dentist
While bi-annual checkups are standard, here are signs indicating an immediate visit is in order:
- Persistent bad breath
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Toothaches or sensitivity
- Visible cavities or broken teeth
- Sudden changes in bite or jaw alignment

Frequently Asked
Questions
Why are dental checkups and cleanings important?
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential to prevent dental problems and maintain good oral health. These visits allow your dentist to detect early signs of issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer, ensuring timely interventions.
How often should I get a dental checkup and cleaning?
For most individuals, it's recommended to see your dentist for a checkup and cleaning every six months. However, patients with specific conditions or at higher risk might need to visit more frequently.
What can I expect during a dental cleaning?
A professional cleaning involves the removal of plaque and tartar that's built up on the teeth. Your dental hygienist will use specialized tools to clean both above and below the gumline. Afterward, your teeth will be polished, often with a fluoride-based toothpaste.
What's the difference between plaque and tartar?
Plaque is a soft, sticky film that builds up on your teeth daily and contains bacteria. If not removed, plaque can harden and turn into tartar, which is a hard mineral deposit that can lead to gum disease.
Are X-rays taken at every dental checkup?
Not always. X-rays are typically taken once a year or as needed, based on your oral health. They help your dentist see issues not visible to the naked eye, like cavities between teeth or problems below the gumline.
What is an oral cancer screening?
During a checkup, your dentist may perform an oral cancer screening, which involves checking your mouth for any signs or symptoms of oral cancer. This is a preventative measure to ensure early detection and treatment.
I'm nervous about visiting the dentist. What can I do?
It's common for patients to feel anxious. Communicate your feelings to your dentist. Many dental offices, like 905 Dental, offer sedation or comfort-enhancing amenities, such as weighted blankets or music, to make your experience more pleasant.
How long does a dental checkup and cleaning take?
Generally, a dental checkup and cleaning session can take between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your oral health status and any additional procedures or exams required.
Why is professional cleaning necessary if I brush and floss daily?
Even with diligent home care, there are areas in your mouth that regular brushing and flossing might miss. Professional cleanings ensure that hidden plaque and tartar, which can lead to dental problems, are thoroughly removed.
Will my insurance cover dental checkups and cleanings?
Dental insurance plans cover checkups and cleanings twice a year as they are considered preventive care. However, it's essential to consult with your insurance provider or dental office to confirm coverage specifics.
