Listen to the Entire Lesson

Checkups are appointments to your dentist where they examine your mouth for overall health and usually include some sort of cleaning. Check ups are an important part of keeping a healthy mouth as well as a way of catching any possible problems before they cause any pain or discomfort.

Here are some questions commonly used when asking about checkups.

"How often should I go in for checkups?"
"Do they clean your teeth at checkups?"
"Will they take x rays at my check up?"
"Can I ask questions if I have any concerns?"
"Do I really need checkups?"
"Will I have to get any fillings?"

If you are asked any of these questions, here are ways that you could respond.

"Normally you should go in for a checkup every six months."
"I would ask your dentist and see what they recommend for you."

"My dentist cleans my teeth at my check ups."
"Usually they do. It feels good when they are done."

"Sometimes they take x-rays to check your teeth."
"I think they only take x-rays if they have not seen you before."

"Yes, this is a time to ask questions if you have them."
"Ask all the questions you want. They will try and help you."

"Check ups help keep your mouth clean and healthy."
"Check ups are a good way to find any problems before they begin to hurt."

"If you have any cavities then you will have to get a filling."
"Fillings are not normally part of a check up."
