Regular dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. Dental check-ups allow your dentist to identify any dental issues early. Treating problems promptly prevents them from worsening and becoming more challenging to manage.

​​

During a check-up, your dentist examines your teeth, gums, and mouth. They assess your overall oral health and discuss any concerns you may have.
