A dental care plan should include regular checkups, cleanings, x-rays, fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, and more. Find out what services are included in your plan Checkup & Cleaning.
If you need a cleaning, call your dentist first thing in the morning so he or she has plenty of time to prepare for your visit. You can also schedule an appointment online at any time.
X-Rays
An x-ray is a test used to detect hidden damage to teeth and bones. It uses invisible radiation to produce images of internal structures. X-rays are often used to diagnose tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, and other issues. They can also help determine whether a filling needs replacing.
If you want to get regular checkups at the dentist, schedule them before you need them. The sooner you go, the less likely you are to be late for your appointment. And if you’re worried about being embarrassed in front of your friends, family, or coworkers, there are ways to avoid that. For example, you could bring a friend or relative with you to the office, or ask your dentist to come to your home.
