During a dental check-up, your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, jaw, and other oral structures. They may take x-rays to get a better view of your dental health.

To maintain good oral hygiene, it's important to:

• Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth.
