Is It Right for You?
Signs You May Need a Dental Exam
If any of the following sound familiar, it’s time to schedule an appointment:
-
Tooth Pain — Lingering or sharp tooth pain may signal decay, infection, or a cracked tooth that needs attention.
-
Bleeding Gums — Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing can be an early sign of gum disease.
-
Tooth Sensitivity — Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods often points to enamel wear or exposed roots.
-
Bad Breath — Persistent bad breath that won’t go away with brushing may indicate an underlying dental issue.
-
Visible Changes — White spots, dark areas, or sores in your mouth should always be evaluated by a dentist.

Over a Year Since an Exam — Skipping annual exams puts you at higher risk for problems that are harder to treat.
