Why Dental Exams Are Essential for Your Health
Early Detection of Dental Issues
Regular dental exams allow our dentist to catch problems like cavities, gum disease, or tooth decay before they escalate. Early intervention saves you from costly treatments and discomfort down the road.
Prevention of Gum Disease
If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and even impact your heart health. During an exam, Dr. Tagg checks for signs of gingivitis or periodontitis, ensuring timely treatment.
Oral Cancer Screening
Dentists perform oral cancer screenings during routine dental exams, checking for abnormal tissues or lesions. Early detection significantly improves outcomes, making these screenings a critical part of your visit.
Overall Health Connection
Your mouth is a window to your body’s health. Conditions like diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, and even stress can manifest in your oral cavity. A dental exam can provide insights into your broader health.

What Happens During a Dental Exam?
When you come in for a routine dental visit, you can expect the following:
- Medical History Review: Our Jupiter dentist will ask about your medical history, medications, and any recent changes in your health or dental hygiene. This helps us tailor the exam to your needs.
- Visual Inspection: Using a small mirror and probe, the dentist examines your teeth, gums, and soft tissues for signs of decay, cracks, or inflammation. They’ll also check your bite and jaw alignment.
- Dental X-Rays (If Needed): X-rays may be taken to detect hidden issues like impacted teeth, bone loss, or cavities between teeth. These are typically done annually or as needed.
- Professional Dental Cleaning: A dental hygienist will clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. They’ll also polish your teeth for a smooth, clean finish.
- Oral Health Discussion: Dr. Tagg will discuss their findings, recommend treatments if necessary, and provide tips for maintaining good oral hygiene at home.

How Often Should You Get a Dental Exam?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visiting the dentist every six months for a routine exam and cleaning. However, your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your oral health needs. For example:
- High-risk individuals (i.e., smokers, those with gum disease, or frequent cavities) may need quarterly visits.
- Children benefit from biannual dental checkups to monitor tooth development.
- Adults with excellent oral health may sometimes extend to annual visits, but only with the dentist’s approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I skip a dental checkup and cleaning appointment?
Skipping checkups and teeth cleanings can harm your oral health. During checkups, dentists can detect and prevent problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Regular appointments help you achieve good oral health. Skipping cleanings can cause plaque and tartar buildup, leading to more severe issues.
What if I haven’t been to the dentist in a while?
Whether it’s been six months or six years, we’ll meet you where you’re at. Our dentist will do a thorough exam to get a clear picture of your oral health and create a plan to get you back on track. Our team’s all about making you feel welcome, not lectured.
Do I need a dental exam if I have dentures?
Yes, even with dentures, you need regular exams to check the fit, monitor oral tissues, and screen for issues like oral cancer.
