The short answer
Your dentist checks your teeth and gums, asks about concerns and may recommend further tests or care if needed. The next visit interval should reflect your individual needs.
What to consider for your own care
Bring up any change in bleeding, sensitivity, dry mouth or daily habits. A check-up can help your dentist suggest a recall interval and home-care plan that suit your own risk.
When to speak with a dentist
Pain, swelling or persistent bleeding warrants advice sooner than a routine recall visit.
Next step
Ask Dental Works: “What happens at a dental check-up?” Share your symptoms, goals and any deadline so the dentist can explain suitable options and what should happen next at a Sion East consultation.
