Dental Check-Up
Dental check-ups are form an essential part of general dentistry. Dentists recommend getting your dental health checked regularly to avoid future dental problems. Check-ups are generally scheduled for twice a year even though your dentist may advise you to get more frequent checks based on your unique dental health status
Are Dental Check-Ups Really Necessary?
During a routine dental check-up, your dentist has the opportunity to examine your teeth and gums for any concerning issues. Dental check-ups are, in fact, quite necessary. The thing is that dental problems can become more and more difficult to treat, the longer they are left untreated. Your best bet is to take preventative measures, like having regular dental check-ups, to avoid serious dental problems.
The Dental Check-Up
During your routine dental check-up your dentist will examine your whole oral cavity, including your teeth and gums. They may also take x-ray pictures to help them identify any existing dental issues that may not have been visible during the normal examination. X-rays can pick up problems like impacted teeth, jawbone damage, dental decay, abscesses, tumors and cysts. Children’s x-rays can be useful for indicating the positions where their adult teeth will eventually come in.
As part of your dental check-up, your dentist will ask you about the condition of your general health. They will also ask about any recent concerns you may have been having with your dental health.
If any dental problems are spotted, your dentist will advise you about possible lifestyle changes you could implement to boost your dental health. They may recommend that you eat a heathier diet and quit bad habits like smoking. You will also receive tips on how to care for your teeth and gums to keep them healthy. The date of your next routine check-up will be discussed at the end.
Getting regular dental check-ups is a great way to steer clear of dental problems. For the best dental care in Toronto (ON), contact us at North York Smile Centre today to schedule your next dental check-up!

Took out 3 wisdom tooth few hours ago , it was quite and fast and painless experience. Dr Ko and Samantha are the best. I would recommend North York smile centre to anyone, it comes with an amazing experience. Dr Ko was very patient and answered all my questions.
Wonderful, professional office and dental staff. Been coming here since it opened in the 90's and always feel I'm getting the best, cutting edge dental care. My strongest reccomendation!
I am absolutely thrilled. Had just gone through stressful time and damaged my teeth grinding. Dr. Eisen built up my back teeth and replaced some old fillings and I am happy to smile again. (Looking forward to showing the world once the mask can come off!!). Love my dentist !!!
The whole staff and Dr Rob Eisen are so wonderful, making you feel confident, safe and comfortable!!!!! Thank you always for the great service
Dr. Ko is such an exceptional professional. He's very skillful and knowledgeable. I recently had a tooth implant done by him and I'd say by far this was a most comfortable procedure I ever had. No antibiotics and pain killers needed at all. Amazing!
Amazing office . All safety protocols in place and so much experience and care for their patients . Dr. Rob Eisen is the very best ! Thank you for taking such good care of me today.
I highly recommend anyone to come here for any dental needs. The level of professionalism is amazing ! The clinic is beautiful, clean and spacious. The team members are caring and polite. The only problem is that the experience was so good that my daughter wants to get more cavities to go back!
