What happens at a checkup
- Cleaning: our hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar that brushing can't reach, then polishes your teeth.
- X-rays when needed: low-dose digital X-rays show cavities between teeth and problems below the gumline.
- Exam with Dr. Bhatti: a careful check of your teeth, gums, bite and an oral cancer screening.
- Your plan: we explain anything we find, your options, and what your insurance covers.
How often should I come in?
Most people do best with a checkup and cleaning every six months. Many dental insurance plans cover two cleanings a year, often at no cost to you.
