Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?

Routine dental visits help catch small issues before they turn into major problems, saving you time, money, and a lot of potential pain. Most dentists recommend a checkup and cleaning every six months. Here’s why:

  • Plaque and tartar removal prevent cavities and gum disease.
  • Early detection of tooth decay, gum disease, and bite issues minimizes the need for more expensive and complex treatments.
  • Professional advice helps improve your at-home brushing and flossing techniques.

At Harris Parkway Dental Care, we make prevention easy and stress-free. These visits are quick, comfortable, and essential for long-term oral health!

What to Expect During a Dental Checkup

When you visit our Fort Worth office for a checkup, we will start by reviewing your dental and medical history. Then, we perform an extensive exam to look for signs of:

  • Cavities or worn enamel
  • Gum inflammation or infection
  • Jaw or bite alignment issues
  • Oral cancer

We may also take digital X-rays if needed to get a closer look at what’s happening below the surface. After your exam, Dr. Zahawi or Dr. Vazquez will explain any findings, answer your questions, and go over the next steps if treatment is needed. Our team will always ensure that you know exactly what’s happening in your mouth and how we can help going forward.

Cleanings are all about giving your teeth the deep refresh they deserve! During your visit, one of our skilled hygienists will gently:

  • Remove plaque and tartar buildup using special tools
  • Polish your teeth to remove surface stains
  • Floss between each tooth to check for hidden debris

We’ll also offer personalized tips to help you keep your smile looking and feeling great at home. If needed, we may apply a fluoride treatment for extra cavity protection. At our Fort Worth dental office, we strive to make cleanings both comfortable and complete to leave you with a smile that feels brand new.
