Regular dental checkups play a crucial role in preventing dental problems before they start.

By visiting Chasing Smiles every six months, you’re taking a proactive step to protect your teeth and gums from issues like cavities, gum disease, and more serious conditions that can affect your overall health.

Frequently
Asked Questions

How often should I schedule a dental checkup?

It’s recommended to visit the dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. Regular visits help prevent dental issues and keep your smile healthy.

What if I haven’t been to the dentist in a long time?

Don’t worry! We’re here to help you get back on track with your dental care. Dr. Chaudhry will assess your current oral health and create a plan to address any issues you may have.

Are dental checkups painful?

No, dental checkups are generally not painful. Professional cleanings might cause slight discomfort if there’s significant plaque buildup, but our team works gently to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Does insurance cover dental checkups?

Most dental insurance plans cover the cost of regular checkups and cleanings. Our team at Chasing Smiles can help you understand your coverage and maximize your benefits.

What should I bring to my first dental checkup?

For your first visit, bring your insurance card, a list of any medications you’re taking, and any questions or concerns you may have. If you have previous dental records, you can bring those too.

How can I prepare for my dental checkup?

There’s no special preparation needed. Just continue your regular oral hygiene routine—brushing and flossing—before your appointment. If you have specific concerns, make a note so you can discuss them with Dr. Chaudhry.
