Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?

We mentioned above that biannual dental checkups and cleanings are crucial when it comes to maintaining a healthy, happy smile. There are a few reasons for this, starting with the fact that oral cancer, gum disease, and several other health conditions can develop and progress under the radar. Plus, even with consistent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up. Simply put, routine visits to our Henrico dental office play a crucial role in both catching and preventing common dental problems.

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

Your exam will be with Dr. Jeffrey Neal, our experienced, caring, and knowledgeable dentist in Henrico. After catching up with you (or getting to know you, if it’s your first visit), he will complete a visual exam and review your latest X-rays. In the process, he will look for signs of any damaging dental conditions or diseases. If he finds any, he will bring it to your attention, review your treatment options, and make certain that you receive the dental care you need.

During the cleaning portion of your visit, we will remove any plaque or tartar (also called calculus), which can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease. In the process, we will let you know if we have any recommendations on how to improve your at-home dental care regimen, like using a specific type of floss or toothpaste. Then, we will floss and polish your teeth for a healthy, bright smile.
