Taking care of your smile goes beyond brushing and flossing—it includes regular dental exams, too. At Holman Family Dentistry, we believe prevention is the key to long-term oral health. That’s why we encourage our patients to stay consistent with their dental checkups.
For most patients, dental exams should take place every six months. These twice-yearly visits allow us to catch small issues—like early signs of decay or gum inflammation—before they turn into bigger (and more expensive) problems. Think of it as an investment in both your smile and your overall health.
During a routine dental exam, Dr. Holman and our team thoroughly evaluate your teeth, gums, and mouth. We check for:
Digital X-rays may be taken to provide a complete picture of what’s happening beneath the surface—helping us spot problems that can’t be seen with the naked eye.
While the six-month rule works for many, some patients benefit from more frequent visits. If you have gum disease, diabetes, a history of frequent cavities, or are undergoing orthodontic treatment, we may recommend exams every three to four months. Young children, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems may also need closer monitoring.
At Holman Family Dentistry, we tailor your care to your unique needs—because no two smiles are the same.
Keeping up with your dental exams is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy smile for life. Regular checkups not only prevent oral health issues but can also reduce your long-term dental costs by addressing concerns early.
