During this checkup, you will discuss your oral health, any issues or problems that may have arisen related to your mouth, gums, or teeth.<\/p>\n

A dental checkup is an opportunity for education regarding your oral health. A dental hygienist assisting the dentist may have your teeth cleaned and polished.<\/p>\n

Your dentist may decide that x-rays are necessary so that they may get a closer and in-depth look at your teeth and gums, looking for issues such as decay, or gum disease.<\/p>\n

In the case of any serious dental problems, the checkup is where a professional can analyze and decide further steps, and scheduling a later date for any surgical work that may need to be done.” font_size=”lg:18″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][tm_spacer size=”lg:50″][tm_image border_color=”primary” image=”2637″ lg_spacing=”border_top:4;border_right:4;border_bottom:4;border_left:4″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][tm_image image_size=”custom” align=”center” image=”2967″ image_size_height=”128″ image_size_width=”160″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][tm_image image_size=”custom” align=”center” image=”2838″ image_size_width=”150″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-4″][tm_box_icon style=”4″ icon_type=”fontawesome5″ icon_fontawesome5=”fa fa-award” overlay_background=”primary” overlay_opacity=”100″ heading=”Award Winning Clinic” text=”Susan Crean Dental & Facial Aesthetics is proud to have won and to have been nominated for various awards” box_shadow=”0 20px 30px #ccc” lg_spacing=”margin_bottom:0″][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-4″][tm_box_icon style=”4″ icon_type=”fontawesome5″ icon_fontawesome5=”far fa-handshake” overlay_background=”primary” overlay_opacity=”100″ heading=”Safe, Relaxing Atmosphere” text=”We are experts dealing with nervous patients, there is no need to fear the dentist anymore” box_shadow=”0 20px 30px #ccc” lg_spacing=”margin_bottom:0″][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-4″][tm_box_icon style=”4″ icon_type=”fontawesome5″ icon_fontawesome5=”fal fa-smile-beam” overlay_background=”primary” overlay_opacity=”100″ heading=”Aesthetic Experts” text=”We can help you achieve the smile that you always dreamed of, contact us today” box_shadow=”0 20px 30px #ccc” lg_spacing=”margin_bottom:0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” background_color=”primary” lg_spacing=”padding_top:100;padding_bottom:100″][vc_column][vc_row_inner gutter=”xs:30;sm:50;md:80;lg:100″ xs_spacing=”padding_top:30;padding_bottom:30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][tm_image border_color=”primary” image=”2700″ lg_spacing=”border_top:4;border_right:4;border_bottom:4;border_left:4″][tm_heading custom_google_font=”” text_color=”secondary” text=”Why Should You Consider A Dental Check-Up?” font_size=”lg:36″ line_height=”46px”][tm_spacer size=”lg:30″][tm_heading tag=”div” custom_google_font=”” text_color=”secondary” text=”If you like the idea of living a long, healthy life with as few medical problems as possible then you should consider a dental checkup. By regularly seeing a dental hygienist you will be able to prevent dental issues, health issues, and financial issues. Dental surgery can be expensive if you let problems become bad enough. Professional checkups a couple of times a year can prevent a lot of issues from ever rising up.<\/p>\n

Tobacco smokers especially should consider getting a dental checkup done. Tobacco is one of the leading causes of oral cancer. Oral cancer is one of the three most common cancers in some Pacific and Asian nations due to their heavy tobacco use.
\nEven if you have good oral health and have no problems it is still a good idea to consider getting a checkup done anyway. It is important to stay on top of your health and a regular checkup is the best way to prevent any issues from arising and becoming worse down the road.” font_size=”lg:18″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][tm_heading tag=”h2″ custom_google_font=”” text_color=”secondary” text=”Warning Signs” font_size=”lg:36″ line_height=”46px”][tm_spacer size=”lg:30″][tm_heading tag=”div” custom_google_font=”” text_color=”secondary” text=”You should consider getting a dental check-up if you suffer from any of the following:” font_size=”lg:18″][tm_spacer size=”lg:30″][tm_list list_style=”check” marker_color=”secondary” title_color=”custom” custom_title_color=”#000000″ desc_color=”secondary” columns=”xs:1;lg:1″ items=”%5B%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Chronic%20bad%20breath%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome5%22%2C%22icon_fontawesome5%22%3A%22far%20fa-arrow-right%22%7D%2C%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Looseness%20of%20teeth%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome5%22%2C%22icon_fontawesome5%22%3A%22far%20fa-arrow-right%22%7D%2C%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Toothache%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome5%22%2C%22icon_fontawesome5%22%3A%22far%20fa-arrow-right%22%7D%2C%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Receding%20gums%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome5%22%2C%22icon_fontawesome5%22%3A%22far%20fa-arrow-right%22%7D%2C%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Clicking%20in%20the%20jaw%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome5%22%2C%22icon_fontawesome5%22%3A%22far%20fa-arrow-right%22%7D%2C%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Sudden%20sensitivity%20to%20cold%20or%20hot%20temperatures%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome5%22%2C%22icon_fontawesome5%22%3A%22far%20fa-arrow-right%22%7D%2C%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Cracked%20or%20broken%20teeth%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome5%22%2C%22icon_fontawesome5%22%3A%22far%20fa-arrow-right%22%7D%2C%7B%22item_title%22%3A%22Ulcers%20or%20sores%20that%20don%E2%80%99t%20heal%20after%20a%20week%20or%20two%22%2C%22icon_type%22%3A%22fontawesome5%22%2C%22icon_fontawesome5%22%3A%22far%20fa-arrow-right%22%7D%5D” heading_font_size=”lg:18″][tm_spacer size=”lg:30″][tm_heading tag=”div” custom_google_font=”” text_color=”secondary” text=”These are all problems that if they are not serious already, they can lead to even worse symptoms.” font_size=”lg:18″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” background_color=”custom” lg_spacing=”padding_top:60;padding_bottom:60″ custom_background_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_row_inner gutter=”xs:30;sm:50;md:80;lg:100″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][tm_heading custom_google_font=”” text=”How Often Should You Go For A Dental Checkup?
