The Importance of Regular Check-Ups

Regular dental check-ups are an important part of any good prevention program. Your dental checkup at King Street Dental allows us to detect problems when they are small, in order to keep them from becoming worse. Regular dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar build-up around teeth which cause tooth decay and gum disease. For children, regular checkups allow us to monitor the growth of their teeth and jaws and treat potential orthodontic problems before they become major ones. For patients of all ages, regular dental checkups allow us to monitor the wear on existing fillings, replacing those which are worn out before they begin to break down and allow the tooth underneath to decay.

From reviewing current dental literature and from our own clinical observations, we feel that a policy of semi-annual check-ups, adopted by the Canadian Dental Association, provides a good preventive program for our patients. Some patients need more frequent monitoring, some less, but the semi-annual dental checkup is designed to prevent costly long-term dental problems and enhance your overall oral health.
