Family Dental Exams & Hygiene in Pickering

Your dentist will perform a detailed check-up of your mouth, teeth, and gums, including an oral cancer screening. Your dentist will talk to you throughout this examination and share personalized guidance on oral care and hygiene.

Finally, your dentist will review your diagnostic images and provide you with a full overview of their recommended treatment plan. Based on the outcome of your exam, we will recommend your next visits.

Every one of our patients has unique oral health needs, so we create a personalized treatment plan for each person.

As a general guideline, the Canadian Dental Association recommends people see their dentist about every 6 months. These regular visits are key to ensure your dentist can catch any small problems early while they’re still relatively simple and affordable to fix.

We recommend a more comprehensive exam every 5 years. Often, new X-rays will be taken at this time in order to see any shifting in the teeth. Dental impressions may also be taken as part of a bite evaluation.

Putting off seeing your dentist might cause smaller problems to become something major, painful, and expensive to address.

Like our adult patients, we want to make sure our pediatric patients feel comfortable and confident about every visit.

Your child’s first visit to the dentist should be by 12 months old, per the Canadian Dental Association. After that, we’ll likely want to see them about every 6 months, or on a personalized schedule based on their needs.

When you bring your child to the dentist regularly, we’re able to find small problems early, ensure your at-home hygiene practices are effective, and teach them that the dentist is a positive experience to set them up for lifelong good oral health.
