Your smile is important—don’t wait until there’s a problem to take care of it! A regular dental checkup is essential for maintaining oral health and catching any issues early on. At Luq Dental Clinic, we make dental checkups comfortable, thorough, and stress-free for patients of all ages.
Regular check-ups help identify dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer at their earliest stages. The earlier these conditions are detected, the easier and less expensive they are to treat. This is the time to ask questions and address concerns with your dentist.
During your visit, our experienced dentists will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
Our dentists will examine your teeth and gums to detect signs of decay, cavities, gum disease, etc. Many dental issues don’t cause pain or discomfort until it’s severe.
For a more in-depth view, we may take dental X-rays. These images can reveal impacted teeth, bone loss, or deep cavities. X-rays are quick, painless, and safe.
This process involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, which can’t be eliminated by regular brushing alone, preventing gum disease and cavities.
Every mouth is unique, which is why we tailor our advice to your needs. Whether it’s improving brushing technique, trying a new toothpaste, or discussing treatment options.
Regular dental checkups are the key to preventing oral health issues and maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. Here’s why you shouldn’t skip them:
Prevent Cavities: Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to cavities if not removed. Regular checkups help keep your teeth clean and cavity-free.
Early Detection of Gum Disease: Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss. Regular exams help catch early signs before it becomes more severe.
Overall Health Connection: Did you know that oral health is linked to your overall health? Conditions like heart disease and diabetes can be impacted by poor oral hygiene, making dental checkups a vital part of your wellness routine.
During routine dental checkups, dentists often conduct an oral cancer screening as part of the examination. This involves checking your mouth, tongue, lips, and throat for any signs of abnormal tissue or potential cancerous growths.
They will inspect your mouth for red or white patches, sores that don’t heal, lumps, and unexplained bleeding. They’ll also check your lips, gums, and the inside of your cheeks for any abnormalities.
Your dentist may also feel areas around your jaw, neck, and lymph nodes for lumps or masses, which could be signs of deeper issues. This can help detect anything unusual that isn’t visible on the surface.
The survival rate for oral cancer is significantly higher when caught in its early stages. The 5-year survival rate for localized oral cancer is 83%, compared to 38% for cases where cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Regular dental checkups can help catch cancer early, improving the chances of successful treatment. Don’t be afraid to ask your dentist about any concerns you have.
Our dentist will review any medications, allergies, past dental treatments, and any concerns or symptoms you may have noticed recently.
The dentist will begin by examining your teeth, gums, tongue, and mouth for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues such as tooth wear or erosion.
Depending on your oral health history and the last time you had X-rays taken, the dentist may recommend dental X-rays for any needed diagnosis.
Typically the dentist will recommend this as a final step to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth and gum line.
