Regular dental checkups (ideally every six months) will help your teeth stay cleaner, last longer and can prevent painful problems from developing. A dental checkup usually includes a complete cleaning, either from your dentist or a dental hygienist. Using special instruments they will scrape below the gumline, removing built-up plaque and tartar that can cause gum disease, cavities, bad breath and other problems. They may also polish and floss your teeth depending on the level of check up or package you have selected.

A full examination involves your dentist examining your teeth, gums and mouth, looking for signs of disease or other problems. The goal  here is to help maintain your good oral health and to prevent problems from becoming serious. Your dentist may want to take X-rays of your teeth. X-rays can diagnose problems otherwise unnoticed, such as damage to jawbones, impacted teeth, abscesses, cysts or tumors, and decay between the teeth. A modern dental office uses machines that emit virtually no radiation — no more than you would receive from a day in the sun or a weekend watching TV.
