A first visit typically includes a full set of X-rays, a comprehensive exam of your teeth and gums, and an oral cancer screening. The dentist will review your medical history, discuss any concerns, and create a treatment plan. A professional cleaning is usually done the same day or scheduled shortly after.
Schedule a visit if you have tooth pain, bleeding gums, sensitivity to hot or cold, or a chipped or broken tooth. Even without symptoms, routine checkups every six months help catch cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer early when treatment is simpler and cheaper.
Cleaning: $75-200 · Filling: $150-400 · Crown: $800-1,500 · Root canal: $700-1,200
Sharp or lingering pain when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods usually means a cavity, cracked tooth, or worn enamel. Your dentist can identify the source with an exam and X-rays and recommend the simplest treatment that solves the problem.
Cavities are areas of permanent damage in the hard surface of your teeth. Caught early, they require a simple filling. Waiting until pain appears usually means the decay has reached deeper layers and treatment becomes more involved.
Red, swollen gums that bleed when you brush or floss signal early gum disease. A professional cleaning and better home care often reverse it, but advanced cases need deeper treatment.
A chipped tooth can range from a minor cosmetic issue to a dental emergency depending on the severity. Your dentist will assess whether bonding, a crown, or a referral to a specialist is the best path forward.
Chronic bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by bacteria buildup, gum disease, or dry mouth rather than what you ate for lunch. A dental exam can identify the underlying cause and get you to a solution.
