Who is a Candidate for Dental Check-up?

Posted on 4/24/2023 by Evan

Dental check-ups are very integral for your oral health. During routine check-ups, professional teeth cleaning is done, and the dentist can also identify any oral issues early enough. You should ensure you visit your professional dentist at least once in six months.

During dental visits, health experts can also identify any risks of gum diseases and oral cancer. Thus, it would be best if you made a periodic visit to a dental expert a priority to ensure your oral and overall health is outstanding. But who is the right candidate for a dental check-up?

Who Qualifies for the Dental Check-ups?

Everyone should visit the dentist once in six months. During the check-up, the health experts examine the nature of your teeth to identify any signs of cavities or decay. They can also recommend diagnostic tests such as X-rays which show the nature of your teeth and gums. Professional cleaning also ensures your teeth are free from plaque and tartar.

Children should Regularly Visit the Dentist

Children are susceptible to tooth cavities and decay due to the tendency to eat sugary food. Children can also not practice the best dental practices, and tartar and plaque will build up in their teeth and make them vulnerable to decay. Ensure you schedule dental visits for your child regularly. The dentists will identify any signs of cavities or decay and offer the best treatment alternative. Professional dental cleaning also helps to ensure their dental health is outstanding and they are not at risk of oral problems.

People at High Risk of Tooth Decay Should Visit the Dentist More Often

People at high risk, such as pregnant women, smokers, or those at high risk of dental cavities and decay, should visit the dentist regularly. These people have weak immune systems and are at higher risk of developing cavities. Your dentist checks your specific situation and offers a tailored treatment method.

Our Services

Healthy smiles for healthy families start with professional family dentistry. We specialize in Airway Dentistry and many other comprehensive services at Parkside Dental.

Airway Dentistry

We offer oral appliances to alleviate the symptoms of sleep apnea. An oral appliance can provide you with safer and more restful sleep.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is characterized by the repeated cessation of breathing during sleep. There are three main types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central, and complex.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are prosthetic teeth surgically put in locations where teeth are missing. These restorations appear and perform exactly like natural teeth.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners straighten your teeth without the use of metal brackets, wires, and elastic bands. Instead, we begin treatment by taking an impression of your teeth and gums.

Cosmetic Dentistry

At Parkside Dental, we specialize in several cosmetic services aimed at improving the appearance of your teeth and overall smile.
