The most important information at a glance

During a periodic dental checkup, your teeth are examined. The dentist checks for cavities, gum disease, wear, and other abnormalities. The goal is to detect problems early so your oral health remains optimal.

Why a periodic check is important

Many dental problems begin without any obvious symptoms. You often don't even notice a developing cavity or infection. A dental checkup can detect these problems early, allowing immediate action to be taken. This prevents pain, more extensive treatments, and higher costs.

Schedule an intake

How often is a dental check-up necessary?

Most people are advised to schedule a checkup twice a year. More frequent checkups may be necessary if you have an increased risk of cavities or gum problems. Our dentist will provide personalized advice tailored to your specific situation.

Costs and insurance

The cost of a dental checkup is set by national rates. For adults, checkups are usually only covered by supplementary dental insurance. Always check with your health insurer to see if dental checkups are covered by your plan. This way, you won't encounter any surprises.

Why CDC Dental Care?

At CDC Dental Care, you can count on personalized care, experienced dentists, and modern equipment. Thanks to our extensive capacity, there are no waiting times, and you can quickly get in for checkups and other treatments. This ensures you receive the best possible care for your teeth.
