Regular Dental Checkup
Routine dental checkups are vital for keeping your smile healthy. We recommend visiting every six months, as regular exams and cleanings play a key role in maintaining long-term oral health.
Regular Dental Checkups in Wichita, KS
At Humlicek Family Dental, dental checkups give us the chance to monitor your oral health and catch problems early. During your visit, we examine your teeth and gums for signs of cavities, decay, or disease, perform a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and stains, and complete an oral cancer screening. When needed, we also use digital X-rays to detect hidden issues like internal decay, bone loss, or cysts. These visits not only protect your long-term health but also leave your smile feeling fresh and clean.

What is an oral cancer screening?
An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless exam your dentist performs to look for early signs of cancer or precancer in the mouth. During the screening, we check your lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, and throat for unusual spots, sores, or changes in tissue. Catching oral cancer early makes treatment more effective and greatly improves outcomes.

Why is regular teeth cleaning important?
Dental emergencies can happen to anyone, but patients who keep up with preventative care experience far fewer issues. Even with good home care, tartar builds up and harbors harmful bacteria that release toxins, leading to gum disease and tooth loss if untreated. Regular visits allow us to remove these deposits, polish away stains and plaque, and leave teeth smooth, shiny, and easier to keep clean—helping prevent damage and slow discoloration over time.
