If you haven’t had a dental exam in a while, you’re not alone, but regular checkups are key to protecting your long-term oral health. At Glenmore Park Dental, we recommend most Calgary patients come in every six months, but your ideal schedule may vary depending on your needs. In this blog, we’ll explain how often you should get a dental exam, what happens during a checkup, and why staying consistent can help you avoid bigger problems down the road. If it’s been a while since your last visit, now’s the time to get back on track. Contact Glenmore Park Dental today to book your next exam in SW Calgary.
Let’s be honest, most people don’t exactly love going to the dentist. Life gets busy, and if nothing hurts, it’s easy to put it off. But here’s the problem: many dental issues don’t cause pain until they’re already advanced. By the time you feel something, it could mean a bigger procedure, or a bigger bill.
At Glenmore Park Dental, we encourage our patients to view dental exams as part of their overall health routine, not just something you do when a problem pops up. Your oral health is connected to your heart, lungs, immune system, and more, and regular exams help us catch problems early, when they’re easier (and cheaper) to fix.
Most people benefit from a checkup every six months. That gives us the chance to monitor your teeth, gums, and jaw health before anything serious has time to develop. It also gives you the opportunity to stay on top of cleanings, which help prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Some patients need to come in more often — especially if you:
In these cases, we may recommend three- to four-month intervals so we can keep a closer eye on your oral health and provide early intervention when needed.
A routine exam at Glenmore Park Dental includes:
We take the time to explain what we’re seeing and answer your questions, no rushed appointments here. Our goal is to help you understand your oral health and feel confident about your care plan.
Regular exams help us:
Most importantly, they give us a chance to build a relationship with you, so when something does go wrong, you know exactly who to call.
Whether it’s been six months or six years, it’s never too late to get back into a healthy dental routine. At Glenmore Park Dental, we make exams easy, comfortable, and judgement-free, because we know that showing up is the hardest part.
