| It is recommended by most dentists that patients schedule a visit every 6 months for a dental checkup and an x-ray exam if needed. This usually includes a thorough cleaning and polishing of the teeth by an oral hygienist as well as an oral examination by your dentist. If any problems are noticed, your dentist will typically schedule another appointment for treatment. This could include drilling and filling cavities, applying crowns or caps to the teeth, making moulds or castings, dentures, implants, tooth extraction, root canals, dental bridge work, applying fluoride or teeth whitening treatments and more. More serious problems are sometimes encountered such as periodontal gum disease, bone disease or oral cancer. |
