Regular Dental Checkup

Regular Dental Checkups in Matthews, NC

As leading dental hygienists, we believe in the power of teeth cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride to prevent dental disease. We focus on thorough dental care exams to check your teeth, gums, and overall health. At Urgent Dental, we are equally concerned about your smile and your well-being.

Here’s what to expect at your dental checkup:

1. Our front staff will welcome you with typical information gathering and answer any dental care questions you may have.
2. Your dental hygienist will greet you in the waiting room. If dental X-rays or photos are required, they will be taken to assess your mouth’s overall health and accurately diagnose any dental issue.
3. Then, your dental hygienist will clean your teeth, polish, floss, and fluoride.
4. Next, we will take a periodontal chart to write and record gingival and overall oral conditions relating to oral and periodontal (gum) health.
5. Meet the doctor for an exam and discuss any areas of concern you may have or that we may want to address.
6. During your appointment with the doctor, please feel free to openly inquire about any dental concerns you may have.
7. Schedule any needed treatment or simply your next 6-month cleaning appointment. Expect this first appointment to take between 1 hour and 1.5 hours so that we don’t rush you through or provide too much information too quickly for you.
