You might brush it off thinking it\u2019s just a cleaning you\u2019re missing out on, but the importance of routine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyliefamilydentistry.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental checkups<\/a> is significant. It may surprise you to learn that your dentist takes several steps to ensure your oral and overall health is in good shape. Read on to discover eight things you didn\u2019t know your dentist was doing at every checkup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screening for Oral Cancer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral cancer is a serious disease that can become life-threatening if left untreated. To aid in early detection, your dentist will check your lips, head, neck, and mouth tissues for visible signs of oral cancer at every biannual checkup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examining Your Tongue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that your tongue\u2019s size and surface can reveal a lot about your oral and overall health? Your dentist will closely examine it to ensure there are no concerning signs or symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checking Every Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will carefully check every tooth for health concerns. They\u2019ll use a small mirror called an \u201cexplorer\u201d to examine each one, paying close attention to the outermost layer (enamel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspecting Your Salivary Glands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saliva is crucial for maintaining good oral health because it helps wash away harmful bacteria and neutralize the acids in your mouth. Without adequate saliva production, you\u2019re more prone to cavities, bacteria, infection, and even bad breath. That\u2019s why your dentist will check your salivary glands to make sure they\u2019re producing an adequate amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking at Your Tonsils<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the tongue, your tonsils can also say a lot about any health concerns present in your body. Your dentist will take a close look at them and search for signs of infection or swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examining Your Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will closely examine your gums at every routine dental checkup. They\u2019ll search for signs of bleeding, swelling, irritation, inflammation, and large pockets as they are all signs of unhealthy gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluating Your Bite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from checking the health of your teeth, your dentist will also evaluate your bite and alignment to see if your pearly whites have shifted recently. If they have moved, your dentist may recommend orthodontic treatment to correct any issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checking Your Temporomandibular Joint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the jawbone and jaw. Your dentist will check it to make sure the joint and your bite are working together effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the importance of routine dental checkups is significant because they are much more thorough than you may have realized. By visiting your dentist every six months, you can help your mouth <em>and<\/em> body remain as healthy as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyliefamilydentistry.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Roger Morton<\/a> has been working for the smiles of patients for nearly 20 years now.
