Preventive check-up
Regular dental check-ups play a vital role in preventing cavities, gum inflammation, and other oral health issues. Under the public health insurance system, insured patients are entitled to two preventive dental examinations per year, fully covered by their insurance provider. These visits support the long-term health of your teeth, proper dental function, and overall oral hygiene.
What is included in a check-up?
During a preventive examination at our dental clinic in Prague, patients receive a thorough oral health assessment. Our dentist carefully checks the following:
the condition of the teeth and the structure of each individual tooth — assessing development, detecting cavities, and identifying any structural changes or abnormalities.

the health of the gums and surrounding soft tissues in the oral cavity — evaluating for signs of inflammation, infection, recession, or other abnormalities affecting the mucosa, tongue, cheeks, and palate.

All fillings are performed professionally, with a focus on patient comfort, aesthetics and longevity.
Preventive Examinations for Children
It is crucial to visit a dentist with children as soon as the first tooth erupts, ideally around the age of one. Regular check-ups within pediatric dentistry help prevent childhood cavities and the need for invasive treatment such as fillings or drilling.
Prevention = Lower Costs
Preventative examinations are free for all those insured by a health insurance provider. Early diagnosis of early decay, for example, helps prevent pain, tooth loss, and costly procedures like root canal therapy or composite filling/crown placement.
If you do not have insurance, the cost of a preventative examination is approximately 1500 CZK.
