Routine dental exams every six months are a critical component of your oral health care. During these exams, our dentists are screening you for common concerns and checking the health and function of your current restorations.
The Importance of a Routine Dental Exam
During your exam, our dentists are looking for early signs of:
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Tooth decay
- Oral cancer
- Restoration wear or breakdown
When we can spot these concerns early, treatment is much simpler, less costly, and less invasive.
When we diagnose oral cancer early on, you have a much better prognosis for successful treatment. Spotting early wear or breakdown on fillings, crowns, or bridges can prevent uncomfortable dental emergencies.

Your routine exam is a great time to discuss any oral health or treatment concerns with your dentist. For example, would you like to enhance your smile? You can ask about cosmetic dental options for your teeth. Maybe you've been living with a missing tooth? You can learn more about the difference between dental implants and bridges from your dentist.
