A dental checkup is a routine visit to the dentist where they evaluate your oral health and provide preventive measures against any potential dental problems. During the checkup, the dentist will perform a thorough examination of the teeth and gums to check for any signs of decay, cavities, gum disease, and mouth sores. They'll also screen for oral cancer and provide a professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Following the checkup, the dentist will provide a brief assessment and summary of your oral health along with any necessary treatments or follow-up appointments. The ultimate goal of a dental checkup is to promote good oral hygiene and ensure your teeth remain healthy and strong for years to come.
