In dentist north Vancouver Vancouver, busy schedules can make it easy to postpone dental checkups until sensitivity or pain shows up. Routine checkups help identify cavities, gum irritation and wear before they become bigger or more expensive to treat. Our team typically checks teeth, gums and bite, and may recommend x rays when it helps evaluate what is happening below the surface. For example, early decay can often be treated with a filling, while gum irritation may improve with improved cleaning routines and regular visits. In addition to preventive care, many patients ask about cosmetic and restorative services. A good dental visit should feel organized, clear and centered on practical next steps, not confusion or pressure.
