Your teeth should be checked and cleaned at least twice a year; 

your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend more frequent visits.

Regular dental exams and cleanings are critical for avoiding dental problems and maintaining the health of your teeth and gums.

Your teeth are cleaned and checked for cavities during these visits.

In addition, many other things are checked and monitored to detect, prevent, and maintain dental health. Among them are:

Review of medical history

Examining diagnostic x-rays (radiographs)

Screening for oral cancer

Evaluating gum disease

Examination of tooth decay

Examination of existing restorations

Calculus removal (tartar)

Removal of plaque

Polishing teeth

Recommendations for oral hygiene

Examination of eating habits
