dental check-ups

Dental check-ups are regular visits to the dentist to maintain oral health. During these appointments, the dentist examines your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, disease, or other issues. They may clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. The dentist might also take X-rays to detect problems not visible to the naked eye. Regular check-ups help catch issues early, promote healthy teeth and gums, and ensure good oral hygiene. Most dentists recommend a check-up every six months for optimal oral health.
