What should I expect during a routine dental exam at Carewell Dental

You should expect a warm greeting and gentle, yet thorough, dental care.

Your dental exam in Rutland includes:

  • A thorough exam of the teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues
  • A comprehensive oral cancer screening for early detection
  • X-ray films, if there are concerns
  • A professional teeth cleaning with your hygienist

Your dentist may recommend additional preventive treatments as needed. For example, a fluoride treatment can help strengthen prone or weak enamel.

After your checkup with the dentist, we discuss any findings, including treatment recommendations. We lay out the options and help you make an informed choice for your dental care.

How Often Should I Visit My Rutland Dentist?

Typically, you visit the dentist every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings. This schedule, coupled with excellent oral hygiene, helps you achieve and maintain optimal oral health.

Of course, if you notice oral health changes or have concerns between checkups and teeth cleanings, we want to hear from you. Oral health changes can be anything from tooth sensitivity to sores that don’t heal. Your dentist should evaluate any ongoing change.
