What Are Periodic Checkups?
Periodic checkups are routine dental appointments that typically occur every six months, although the frequency may vary based on individual needs. During these visits, our dental professionals assess your oral health, identify any potential issues, and provide preventive care to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Details of the Service:
Our Periodic Checkup process is thorough, ensuring every aspect of your oral health is evaluated:
