@teethtalkgirl: A dental checkup is about so much more than just cavities. At your dental visit, your dentist and dental hygienist may check for gum disease, oral cancer, bone loss, infection, tartar below the gums, cracked teeth, worn enamel, leaking fillings, grinding, clenching, dry mouth, and even blood pressure in some offices. X-rays are also used to look for more than cavities, including problems under old dental work and signs of periodontal disease. So if it feels like your dental team is checking a million little things, it’s because your routine dental exam is really a full oral health screening. #dentalcheckup #dentalexam #oralhealth #gumdisease #oralcancer
