Dental Check-ups
At Vineyard Valley Dental in Temecula, we believe that regular dental check-ups are the foundation of excellent oral health. A typical check-up includes two important components:
- Professional Teeth Cleaning: Our skilled hygienists remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains using advanced instruments. We also measure your gum health to screen for inflammation and signs of periodontal disease.
- Comprehensive Dental Exam: Dr. Janik and Dr. Ruzzamenti examine your teeth, gums, and jaw for decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and more. We also take digital x-rays to identify any hidden problems early on. Our office follows ADA guidelines for x-rays: full-mouth series every 5 years and bitewings/periapicals annually.
What Else Is Included in a Dental Check-up?
- Customized oral hygiene recommendations
- Review of your medical history and medications
- Opportunity to ask questions and discuss dental concerns
How Often Should You Visit?
Most patients should come in every six months, but if you have a history of gum disease, high cavity risk, diabetes, or smoke, more frequent visits may be recommended to keep your mouth healthy and prevent future issues.
Why Dental Check-ups Matter
Routine exams help catch problems early—before they become costly or painful. From cavities and gum disease to jaw issues and oral cancer, regular visits help protect your health and your smile.
