Attending regular dental checkups is crucial for preventing dental problems, catching issues early, and maintaining a healthy smile. The frequency of routine checkups may vary based on individual needs and recommendations from your dentist.

Your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your individual needs. If you have concerns or experience issues between checkups, schedule an appointment promptly.
Here's what you can expect during a routine dental checkup at Meon Dental Care:
Medical History Review
Your dentist will start by reviewing your medical history, including any changes in medications or health conditions since your last visit. This information can impact your treatment planning and your oral health.
Discussion of Concerns
You'll have the opportunity to discuss any specific concerns or issues you may have with your teeth, gums, changes in your oral health, cosmetic concerns or smile enhancements.
Visual Examination
The dentist will perform a visual examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums. They will check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or any abnormalities.
X-rays (if necessary)
X-rays or radiographs may be taken to get a more detailed view of your teeth and the underlying structures. This helps identify issues not visible during a visual examination, such as cavities between teeth or problems with the jawbone.
Professional Cleaning Advice
Your dentist may advise on teeth cleaning techniques and impact of dietary choices on your oral health. You may also be advised to see a Dental Hygienist for a professional clean (scale and polish) to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth to prevent cavities and gum disease.
Gum Health Assessment
The dentist will check the health of your gums, looking for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease. They may measure the depth of the spaces between your teeth and gums (periodontal pockets).
Oral Cancer Screening
An oral cancer screening may be conducted, involving an examination of your mouth, tongue, throat, and other oral tissues for signs of abnormalities.
Bite & Jaw Alignment
The dentist may check your bite and jaw alignment to identify any issues that could lead to problems like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Discussion & Recommendations
Based on the findings, your dentist will discuss the state of your oral health, provide any necessary recommendations for treatment or preventive measures, and answer any questions you may have.
Scheduling Follow-up Appointments
Depending on your oral health needs, your dentist may schedule follow-up appointments for treatments, further assessments, or routine checkups.
