Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?

Regular dental checkups and cleanings are vital for preserving your oral health and preventing more aggressive dental issues. Even so, many patients believe that if they aren’t in pain, they don’t need a dentist. While it may be tempting to skip visits when you feel nothing’s wrong, there may be invisible issues that a simple checkup and cleaning can detect.

Dental insurance will usually cover two checkups per year as part of preventive care, making these bi-annual appointments far more accessible. This will ensure that your teeth stay healthy and that you avoid painful and costly treatments or emergencies in the future.

Routine dental checkups can also reduce the risk of systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes. In this way, preventive dental care can do more than just prevent a few cavities and surface stains on your teeth.

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

During a dental checkup at The Castleberry Center, Dr. Castleberry will perform a comprehensive examination of your overall oral health. This includes:

Visually inspecting your teeth and existing dental work.
Taking X-rays to check your facial structure and tooth roots.
Screening for oral cancer.
Updating your medical history and medications.
Ask questions about recent unpleasantness you’ve experienced in your mouth.

Dr. Castleberry will compile this information and create a personalized treatment plan if any concerns are found. At the end of your checkup, he’ll leave plenty of time to discuss any questions or concerns. Dr. Castleberry always wants to take your desires to heart when deciding on procedures and treatments to offer.

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning

Professional dental cleanings can reach areas of your mouth that are difficult to clean at home, even with daily brushing and flossing. During your cleaning at The Castleberry Center, your dental hygienist will:

Use specialized instruments to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Floss your teeth to remove stubborn food or other debris.
Apply fluoride treatment if desired.
Polish your teeth to clear surface stains.
Provide feedback and advice for better oral hygiene at home, including frequently missed spots.

All of this reduces your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and chronic bad breath. There’s no feeling quite like teeth that have been freshly cleaned by a professional.
