dental checkups
Oral health appointments
Dental checkups are routine visits to a dentist for examination and cleaning of the teeth.
The checkup typically includes inspection for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues, along with professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar.
Most dentists recommend checkups every six months: I'm overdue for my dental checkup.
