Regular Dental Checkups in Port Charlotte

The best way to maintain your oral health is to visit the dentist twice a year. We’ll give your teeth a thorough cleaning and go through several checks to make sure your mouth, tongue, gums, and teeth don’t have any developing issues.


Brushing twice a day and flossing are fantastic oral hygiene practices, but sometimes those alone aren’t enough to stave off certain issues. Things like cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer don’t cause pain or show signs until they’re in advanced stages. Scheduling routine checkups twice a year can help prevent these issues from developing into anything serious.


At Family Dentistry, you can expect a full examination, a professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening.

Full Examination: The first thing that comes with a routine checkup is a full examination. Our dental professionals will closely inspect your teeth and gums for bacteria, plaque, cavities, or gum disease. This will also help our dentists decide which treatment plan is right for you.


Professional Cleaning: Sometimes tartar and plaque can build up between and on the surfaces of teeth. Our dental professionals will use special dental tools to scrape away this buildup, and we’ll make sure we clean those hard to reach areas. After that, we’ll polish your teeth of any stains and floss your gums.


X-rays: X-rays give our dentists a deeper, more detailed look at what’s going on in your mouth. This will make sure we detect any bacteria or decay that’s hard to spot with the naked eye. We can also check for gum disease or jawbone deterioration.


Oral Cancer Screening: Oral cancer is best treated when it’s detected at its earliest possible point. Our dentists know what to look for. They’ll inspect your face, mouth, tongue, gums, and throat for any signs.
