Indianapolis IN Dentist Discusses Dental Exams And X-Rays

Meridian Dental Center’s main concern is your overall dental health. That is why we promote the Academy of General Dentistry’s recommendation of two checkups per year. A visit to the dentist every six months keeps your mouth healthy and makes it easy to catch any problems early on.
 
Checkups involve an overview of your mouth using mouth mirrors and dental picks to visually determine if there are any problems. Not all issues can be seen however, and some require X-rays to be located. Diagnostic X-rays will help reveal any hidden problems, Bitewing X-rays are recommended every 12 months, and Panographic X-rays provide a view around the entire head are recommended every 3-5 years.
 
Other important reasons to schedule your checkups include oral cancer screenings, gum disease evaluations and restoration checkups. Caring for your mouth is just as important as the rest of your body. Keep your oral health top notch by visiting Meridian Dental Center every 6 months!
