Introduction
As we welcome 2026, there’s no better time to invest in your oral health. Just as you set fitness goals and health resolutions, your teeth deserve attention too. A comprehensive dental checkup is the foundation of a healthy smile and can prevent costly treatments down the road.
Why January is the Perfect Time for a Dental Checkup
Fresh Start Mindset New Year brings renewed motivation to prioritize health. Starting with a dental checkup sets a positive tone for your overall wellness journey in 2026.
Insurance Benefits Reset For those with dental insurance, benefits typically reset in January, making it the ideal time to maximize your coverage.
Prevent Holiday Damage The festive season often means indulging in sweets and irregular oral hygiene. A January checkup helps address any issues before they escalate.
Establish a Routine Beginning your year with a dental visit helps you maintain the recommended twice-yearly checkup schedule.
What to Expect During Your Complete Dental Checkup at Big Smile
1. Medical History Review We’ll discuss any changes in your health, medications, or dental concerns. This helps us provide personalized care and identify potential risk factors.
2. Comprehensive Oral Examination
Visual Inspection:
- Examination of teeth for cavities, cracks, or discoloration
- Gum health assessment for signs of gingivitis or periodontitis
- Soft tissue examination (tongue, cheeks, throat, palate)
- Bite and jaw alignment evaluation
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) assessment
Technology-Enhanced Diagnosis: At Big Smile, we use microscopic dentistry to detect issues invisible to the naked eye, ensuring nothing goes unnoticed.
3. Professional Cleaning (Scaling and Polishing)
- Removal of plaque and tartar buildup
- Deep cleaning below the gum line
- Polishing to remove surface stains

4. X-Rays (When Necessary) Digital X-rays help identify:
- Hidden cavities between teeth
- Bone loss
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Infections at tooth roots
- Jawbone abnormalities
5. Oral Cancer Screening Early detection saves lives. We examine for unusual lumps, sores, or discoloration in your mouth and throat.
6. Personalized Treatment Plan Based on findings, we’ll recommend:
- Immediate treatments needed
- Preventive measures
- Cosmetic options (if desired)
- Follow-up schedule
Common Issues Detected During Checkups
Cavities and Tooth Decay Early-stage cavities can be treated with simple fillings. Advanced decay may require root canal therapy or crowns.
Gum Disease From mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis, gum disease is highly treatable when caught early. We offer specialized periodontal care.
Wisdom Tooth Problems Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and crowding. We provide expert wisdom tooth removal services.
Bite Problems Malocclusion can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and uneven tooth wear. We assess and recommend appropriate orthodontic solutions.
Oral Cancer Signs Any suspicious lesions or abnormalities are identified early for prompt referral and treatment.
