What Is a Dental Check-Up?

A dental check-up is a routine exam performed by your dentist to evaluate the health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. It typically includes a visual inspection, dental x-rays (when necessary), and a discussion of any changes or concerns since your last visit. Check-ups are essential for catching problems early and maintaining long-term oral health.

Benefits of Dental Check-Ups

Early Detection of Dental Issues

Cavities, gum disease, and other problems can start without noticeable symptoms. Regular exams allow us to catch them before they worsen.

Prevention of Costly Treatments

By identifying concerns early, check-ups can help you avoid more complex (and expensive) procedures later on.

Digital X-Rays for Deeper Insight

We use safe, low-radiation digital x-rays to spot issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye—like bone loss, decay between teeth, or impacted teeth.

Protects Your Overall Health

Oral health is linked to your general health. Routine check-ups can help detect signs of systemic conditions such as diabetes, infections, or even oral cancer.

The Dental Check-Up Process

At Fifth St Dental, your check-up is more than just a quick glance—it’s a complete evaluation of your oral health. We take a thorough, patient-focused approach to catch potential issues early, using digital x-rays when needed for a deeper look. Here’s what you can expect during your visit.

01

Medical & Dental History Review

We begin by discussing your medical and dental background, any recent changes, and any concerns or symptoms you’ve noticed.

02

Visual Exam & Gum Assessment

Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues, checking for cavities, inflammation, recession, or abnormalities.

03

Digital Dental X-Rays

If needed, we take high-resolution digital x-rays to assess areas below the gumline and between teeth. This helps us diagnose problems that aren’t visible during a visual exam.

04

Personalized Recommendations

After the exam, we’ll explain our findings and discuss any necessary treatments, preventive steps, or home care improvements. We’ll also schedule your next cleaning or follow-up appointment.

Who Should Get Regular Dental Check-Ups?

It’s Been Over 6–12 Months Since Your Last Visit

If you haven’t seen a dentist in the past year, it’s time to schedule a check-up to ensure your oral health is on track and catch any issues early.

You’re Experiencing Symptoms

Tooth sensitivity, bleeding gums, bad breath, or discomfort can be signs of underlying dental problems that should be addressed promptly during a check-up.

You Have a History of Dental Issues

If you’ve had cavities, gum disease, or other dental treatments in the past, routine exams are essential to prevent recurrence or further damage.

You’re Managing Other Health Conditions

Medical treatments like chemotherapy or medications that affect saliva can impact your oral health. Regular dental exams help monitor and protect your mouth during treatment.
