A typical dental check-up involves a visual examination of your teeth and gums, possibly X-rays, a professional cleaning, and a discussion of any issues or concerns. The dentist may also check for signs of oral cancer and other conditions.
Symptoms of gum disease include swollen, red, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to see a dentist as soon as possible.
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials that cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They can address issues like discoloration, chipped teeth, or misalignment.
