It is important to have regular dental check-ups as we can pick up problems early in your mouth before they get any worse. The sooner we can intervene in treating decayed teeth or gum issues, the better the long-term prognosis and health benefits will be. We not only examine the teeth, but also your tongue, oral tissues and look for any signs of cancer. We usually take X-rays to see any potential problems that may occur or to determine the severity of the problem. It is difficult to see in-between teeth and under fillings and that is another reason for taking dental X-rays.
