How often should I have a dental exam and cleaning?
You should have your teeth checked and cleaned at least twice a year, though your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend more frequent visits.
Regular dental exams and cleaning visits are essential in preventing dental problems and maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. At these visits, your teeth are cleaned and checked for cavities. Additionally, there are many other things that are checked and monitored to help detect, prevent, and maintain your dental health.
Why do I need dental x-rays?
Dental x-rays are necessary to look at areas that the dentist cannot see by visual exam alone, such as between the teeth and below the gum line.
Like other types of x-rays, dental x-rays are different views (i.e., bitewing, periapical, panoramic). The dentist will prescribe the view(s) needed to look for specific concerns, such as cavities between the teeth, tooth root abscesses, jaw bone loss or infection, tumors or cysts. Generally, x-rays are taken about once per year for preventive care, or as needed to evaluate a problem. Some patients require x-rays less frequently or more often depending on their history of past dental issues.
Our practice uses digital dental x-rays, with low radiation exposure. Compared to traditional dental film of the past, the exposure is significantly reduced.
