The goal is to detect minor problems early. For many people, this means a dental exam every six months. Your dentist may suggest that you visit more or less often depending on how well you care for your teeth and gums, problems you have that need to be checked or treated, how fast tartar builds up on your teeth, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 data-fontsize=\"18\" data-lineheight=\"22\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Ten conditions that only your dentist can detect<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">No matter how carefully you take care of your teeth and gums, or how carefully you look for signs of problems, there are a number of oral health conditions that only your dentist can see:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Deterioration in fillings, crowns and other restorations<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Root cavities\u2014decay on roots of teeth exposed by receding gums<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Periodontal pockets caused by gum disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">New decay under the gum line<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Cavities under existing fillings<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Hairline tooth fractures<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Impacted wisdom teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Early signs of gum disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Early signs of oral cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Signs of other problems that could affect your general health<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em><small><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Source:<\/span> Canadian Dental Association<\/small><\/em><\/span><\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\"><li role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-2488fc28bd816762e86\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-willmydentisttakex-rays?\" href=\"#tab-2488fc28bd816762e86\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">WILL MY DENTIST TAKE X-RAYS?<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-willmydentisttakex-rays?\" id=\"tab-2488fc28bd816762e86\"><span style=\"font-size: 25px;\"><strong><span style=\"margin-top: 0em; color: #ffffff;\">WILL MY DENTIST TAKE X-RAYS?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> X-rays may or may not be a regular part of your checkup, and your dentist will only take them if there is a need.
