While it might seem tempting to skip routine dental appointments if you aren’t currently experiencing oral pain, doing so can allow unseen issues to fester until they cause serious problems like agonizing toothaches or permanent tooth loss. By attending regular dental checkups at our Vero Beach office, you can make sure your teeth receive top-quality care from a qualified dental team who can thoroughly clean your mouth and address small issues before they develop into painful ordeals. Most dental insurance plans cover routine dental checkups completely, and receiving regular oral care may help prevent overall health problems like heart disease and diabetes.

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

During your dental checkup, our team will visually examine your mouth to evaluate the health of your gums, teeth, alignment, and existing dental work and screen for signs of serious issues like oral cancer. We’ll probably also take X-rays at least once a year to look for problems in your oral muscles and jawbone structure. If we find any issues, we’ll develop an appropriate treatment plan to address them, and we’ll also take the time to answer any questions you have about your oral health. Our team will also review and update your medial history and list of medications as necessary.

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning

During your dental cleaning, our team will carefully clean your teeth and gums while making sure to remove plaque and food debris from areas that are impossible to reach with conventional brushing and flossing methods. We’ll then thoroughly floss and polish your teeth and remove minor dental stains. We may also apply fluoride to reinforce your enamel at the end of your session.
