Dental Checkup in Gwalior
Routine dental checkups help protect your teeth and gums from future problems. At Dental Tonic, Gwalior, Dr. Rashmi Sukhwani provides comfortable, thorough exams to catch issues early and prevent painful, expensive treatments down the road.
Whether it's been six months or six years since your last visit, we make coming in simple, gentle and stress-free.
Why Regular Checkups Matter
Most dental problems start silently. By the time you feel pain, the issue may already be advanced. Regular exams help us detect problems early when they're easiest and most affordable to treat.
During a routine checkup, we can identify:
- Tooth decay before pain or sensitivity begins
- Gum disease in its earliest, most reversible stages
- Tartar build-up that causes bleeding gums and bad breath
- Hidden infections beneath old fillings or crowns
- Bite problems that may lead to jaw pain or tooth wear
Who Should Get Regular Checkups & How Often?

Who should visit regularly:
