We are usually advised to maintain good oral hygiene at home. Still, there are other underlying issues that only a professional can diagnose and treat.
Key takeaways:
- A dental checkup may involve professional cleaning. This removes plaque and the hardened tartar on your teeth.
- Your dentist may also check for any visual signs of oral cancer, gum disease or cavities.
- If you wish to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, your dentist will help you figure out the best treatment choice for your condition.
Remember to follow all instructions by the dentist after your dental checkups.
