A healthy smile starts with prevention. One visit a year can prevent more complicated problems. Don’t wait for pain to decide for you.
A preventive dental check-up allows you to detect a potential problem before it causes pain or the need for more demanding treatment. Regular dental check-ups therefore save money, time and teeth. With a completed preventive course, you are also entitled to reimbursement of some procedures from the health insurance.
The dentist will first ask you about your current state of health, problems, or changes since the last visit.
He will then check the teeth, gums, mucous membranes, tongue, palate tissues and jaw joints. He looks for signs of caries, inflammation, oral diseases or orthodontic problems.
If you have older treatments, such as dental crowns, bridges or fillings, the dentist will also check their condition – whether they hold, do not leak bacteria and do not require replacement.
Based on the state of your teeth, your dentist may recommend an X-ray, which is ideal for revealing hidden cavities or problems under fillings or in the bone.
After a preventive dental examination, the dentist will give you recommendations for the next procedure – for example, dental hygiene, replacement of fillings or just regular follow-up.
