Attending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smileshelby.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">checkups and cleanings<\/a> often keeps your smile healthy for the long haul! Aside from such positive feelings, though, you may also have a question: What\u2019ll happen at your next dental visit? When you haven\u2019t seen your dentist for a while, it\u2019s easy to forget how their sessions work. That said, let your Shelby Township practice address this query in the summary below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Medical History Check<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than get right into treatment, the visit will start with a review of your medical history. This step updates the dentist on recent shifts in your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since your last dental appointment, your body has changed a bit. There\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve had new illnesses, surgeries, medications \u2013 the list goes on. As such, the dentist will try to confirm these changes to provide the best possible care. They might otherwise fail to tailor a treatment properly, putting your oral health at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Oral Exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After reviewing your medical history, the dentist will examine your mouth directly. They\u2019ll especially note any changes in your oral health since the last exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All things considered, the exam will likely feel drawn out. The dentist will potentially need to catch up on years\u2019 worth of shifts in your teeth, gums, lips, cheeks, etc. Given that fact, they\u2019ll have to take their time to document a wide range of observations. They may also have to take new dental X-rays to check for hidden issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some Teeth Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The exam will quickly give way to some teeth cleaning once it\u2019s over. At that time, the dentist will remove harmful substances from your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cleaning will likely find a lot of plaque, which quickly gathers when you don\u2019t see a dentist enough. (It\u2019s only natural; a toothbrush and floss can\u2019t help your smile\u2019s hard-to-reach spots.) Therefore, a hygienist will spend much of the checkup removing harmful bacterial films. This process may take more time than it would if you attended visits every six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion of Your Treatment Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussion of your treatment plan will conclude your visit. Far from needless, this talk ensures your oral health is stable in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given your situation, the discussion will almost certainly suggest relevant procedures. These may include fillings or crowns that could treat cavities you\u2019ve developed. Similarly, the talk may bring up more frequent maintenance visits; such sessions keep a weak smile from worsening. Whatever the dentist recommends, know that their suggestions should help your grin thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you haven\u2019t seen your dentist for a while, there\u2019s no reason to fear. Just know that your appointment will involve the elements above!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smileshelby.com\/\"><em>Smiles in Shelby<\/em><\/a><em> is based in Shelby Township, MI.
