You know that you should bring your family to the dentist for regular visits. This gives dental professionals an opportunity to examine their teeth and gums, to remove plaque and tartar buildup, and to take X-rays.

X-rays can reveal cavities as they are starting to form and other problems. This short video by the American Dental Association gives you more details.
