Scott Family Dentistry highly recommends routine dental examinations for all of our patients. This small dental routine can save you hundreds or even thousands in the long run as a preventative measure.

Make Dental Exams A Routine

During a typical dental exam, the dentist or a hygienist will clean your teeth and check for any issues with your teeth such as cavities, cracks, or chips. They will also inspect your gums for any signs of gum disease.


Your dental exam will include assessing your risk of acquiring other oral health problems and checking your face, neck, and mouth for any abnormalities. An oral cancer screening may also be completed in some cases. A dental exam often includes dental X-rays or other diagnostic procedures to assess the non-visible positions of your teeth and jaw.


Making dental exams a routine is a must for healthy oral health and can find problems before they grow into bigger ones that become more painful and costly.


Did we mention that most dental exams are also 100% covered by insurance? If you have insurance, there's no reason you shouldn't be taking advantage of these oral exams. Give us a call today to see what is covered by your insurance and get on the books with Scott Family Dentistry. If you don't have insurance, don't worry! We can give you a comprehensive estimate too.

Why Are Exams Necessary?

To keep it simple, dental examinations are necessary to prevent further complications. Unfortunately, many people often overlook scheduling these appointments. However, according to the American Dental Association (ADA), most children and adults should get a dental exam at least once every six months or twice a year. Regular dental exams help prevent issues like tooth decay and gum disease. Some of these oral diseases are very serious, and identifying them ahead of time makes it easier to treat.
