Dental Insurance Healthcare – The Dental Check Up
During the check up, the dentist will thoroughly inspect your teeth for any signs of cavities or plaque build up. If the plaque is not removed, it will harden and become tartar, which can cause periodontal disease. The dentist will also check your gums to ensure they are healthy. Most dentists will also check the tongue, jaw, throat, face, and neck for signs of swelling or other possible injury.
