- Routine dental checkup (RDC) helps you to maintain proper oral health
- RDC is a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and mouth that will prevent minor problems from becoming major ones
- For example, if decay is detected early, you can save your tooth from getting extracted or doing a root canal treatment.
At R.K. Dental Clinic, the three most important aspects of a dental checkup are
- Teeth: All the teeth in the oral cavity are checked for cavities, cracks, holes, discoloration etc.,. Old fillings and crowns are also examined
- Gums: Evaluate the health of the gums by checking for loose teeth, bone loss and bleeding
- Tissues of the mouth: Cheeks, tongue, palate, lips and floor of the mouth are thoroughly examined for any irregularities. If caught early, many types of oral cancer can be treated successfully.
X-rays are taken based on requirement only. X-ray not only identifies the existing problem but may also alert any future problems. It is advised for the following:
- Impacted teeth
- Decay between two teeth
- Any tumor or swelling
- Jawbone damage
- Clip/Braces treatment
After examination, we will provide you a complete treatment plan with its associated costs. It is essential to make routine dental checkup twice a year a priority because the mouth is the gateway of your entire body and good oral hygiene contributes to overall health.
