What Is a Dental Exam & Check-Up?

During a dental exam, your dentist will evaluate your teeth and gums, looking for signs of decay, infection, and gum disease. They may take a digital X-ray of your mouth using state-of-the-art imaging. Taking these images will allow your dentist to monitor changes in your oral health from year to year.

  • Why Do I Need a Dental Exam?
    • To maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.
    • To prevent decay, infection, gum disease, and tooth loss.
    • To catch issues early, before they become more expensive.
  • Does It Hurt?
    Not at all. Your dentist will keep you comfortable while they examine your mouth, and our digital X-rays are painless.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Exams & Check-Ups

  • If my teeth feel fine, do I need to go to the dentist?

    Yes! By the time your teeth start to hurt, it may be too late. Keeping your six-month check-up will allow your dentist to catch problems while they’re small, which may be the difference between a filling and a root canal or extraction. Regular dental exams and check-ups will save you time, money, and pain.

    Please contact our family dentists at West Henderson Dental & Orthodontics to schedule your dental exam and check-up in Henderson, NV.

  • How often should I get a dental exam?
    We recommend most of our patients see us twice a year for a dental exam, check-up, and cleaning. You may need a little extra attention if you’ve suffered from gum disease or tooth decay in the past. In those cases, we may recommend you come in a bit more often. We do understand that our patients lead busy lives, so we’ll never judge you if you’re behind on your check-up.
  • How can I prepare for a dental exam?
    Brush your teeth before your appointment to remove food and plaque. During your exam and check-up, be honest with your dentist about your oral health routine. We’re not here to judge; we only want to help.
  • What if I have a specific dental concern?
    During your exam, your dentist will take the time to understand your individual history, needs, and concerns. If you are worried about a specific area or problem, we’ll address it alongside your general oral health.
  • What if I experience dental anxiety?

    Dental anxiety is very common, and our experienced team is here to help you remain calm and at ease during your exam and check-up. We also offer a variety of dental sedation options.
