Dentist Check Ups in Herford

Routine examinations (check ups) are an essential part of maintaining a healthy mouth.  They involve a check of all teeth for signs of decay, wear and tear and the health of any existing restorations in the teeth.  Gums will be checked for any evidence of gum disease or inflammation.  The soft tissues of the oral cavity will be examined for any signs of any disorders include evidence of oral cancer.  X-rays may be suggested if appropriate and the results of all the areas checked will be fully discussed with patients.  Examinations are also an opportunity for dentists to reinforce any preventative measures that would be appropriate to help maintain the health of your mouth. 

Routine examinations are often every 6 months but your dentist may suggest longer or shorter intervals depending on individual circumstances.
