Remember your regular
Dental check-ups
A dental checkup is a thorough examination during which your dentist or dental hygienist examines your teeth and your overall oral health.
We primarily look for cavities and inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) or inflammation of the supporting tissues around the teeth (periodontitis).
Regular inspections
are important!
Regular dental check-ups are the path to beautiful and healthy teeth. The goal is prevention, and the examination ensures that any problems are nipped in the bud, avoiding broken teeth, major treatments and expensive dental bills.

Why are X-rays taken during dental checkups?
Not everything can be seen with the naked eye, which is why we sometimes recommend X-rays to help us find 'hidden' conditions, especially cavities between teeth or under old fillings.
Our modern dental chairs have built-in digital X-rays for sharp images and minimal radiation. We store your X-rays in our electronic medical records so we have previous images to compare with.
In some cases, cavities can only be seen on X-rays. Inflammation in the jaw can also only be seen on X-rays. If detected early, you may be able to avoid root canals, tooth extractions, cysts, and bone loss.
How often do I need to visit the dentist?
The dentist always makes an individual assessment of how often you should visit the dentist. An appointment for a dental check-up is therefore based on need and is agreed on a case-by-case basis. Often 3, 6, 9 or 12 months pass between visits.
In April 2015, new services and rules regarding subsidies for dental checkups were introduced. This means that you will be assigned to a group (green, yellow, or red category), and your dentist will determine how often you need to come in for a checkup—and how many checkups you are eligible for under the subsidy program.
If you are a new patient, you must book an appointment for a dental check-up. After the examination, you will be informed which group you belong to and how often you need to come depending on your needs.
What does a dental checkup cost?
The price of a dental check-up is regulated by the government, so you pay the same amount at all dentists in Denmark.
