Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. At RK Dentistry, under the care of Dr. Richard J. Koeltl, new patients can expect a comprehensive evaluation emphasizing the importance of preventive care. Dr. Koeltl and his team ensure patients understand the significance of these visits in achieving and sustaining oral wellness. With their expertise, patients can trust they receive the necessary care for lifelong healthy smiles.
During a new patient appointment, Dr. Richard Koeltl begins with a thorough examination, including necessary X-rays, to assess oral health comprehensively. This evaluation encompasses checking for cavities, gum disease, and other potential issues. Following the examination, one of our skilled hygienists performs a meticulous cleaning, removing plaque and tartar buildup and polishing teeth to eliminate surface stains.
Regular dental exams and cleanings are critical for maintaining oral health. While at-home oral hygiene is crucial, professional cleanings are necessary to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup, preventing common issues such as cavities and gum disease. Additionally, these routine exams allow for early detection and treatment of potential problems, avoiding more extensive and costly procedures in the future. This saves our patients money, time, and their oral health and wellness!
Most of our patients benefit from two visits yearly to their dentist for an evaluation and cleaning. This is decided by our dental team and is dependent on the health of the patient’s smile. Those without cavities or periodontal disease often book visits every six months, while those with specific oral health concerns may need to see their dentist more often.
