What Is Included in a Dental Checkup at Red Rose Dentistry?
- Comprehensive dental exam: All teeth checked for decay, cracks, wear, and chipping; existing restorations (fillings, crowns, bridges) examined for condition; bite and jaw alignment assessed; oral cancer screening; gum health evaluation (probing depths, recession, bleeding points)
- X-rays: Bitewing X-rays (between-tooth cavities), periapical X-rays for specific teeth if needed, and panoramic X-ray for new patients with no recent imaging on file
- Professional cleaning: Scaling to remove tartar buildup, polishing, and flossing. If gum disease is present, a deeper periodontal cleaning is recommended instead of a standard polish.
- Treatment discussion: If we find anything that needs attention, we explain it clearly with X-rays or photos — we tell you what is happening, why it matters, and what your options are including doing nothing when that is a reasonable option

- New patient checkup: 75–90 minutes (more thorough first visit including full X-ray series and complete medical/dental history)
