“The shortest distance between two people is a smile… and my goal is to make sure yours is healthy and confident.”
— Dr. Richa Bhatnagar
Hi! I’m Dr. Richa Bhatnagar, and I’m so glad you’ve landed here. I’m the lead dentist at Jacksonport Dental Clinic, right here in the heart of NE Calgary.
Let’s be honest—between work, family, errands, and everything in between, dental visits don’t always make it to the top of the to-do list. I completely get it. But let me share why those regular dental checkups—even when nothing hurts—are more important than you might think.
🦷 What Happens During a Dental Checkup at Jacksonport Dental Clinic?
At our clinic, every checkup is a chance to catch problems before they become emergencies, and to keep your smile not just healthy—but confident.
When you come in for your routine exam, we:
- Check your teeth and gums thoroughly for signs of decay, gum disease, or oral abnormalities
- Take digital X-rays (only when necessary) to spot hidden issues
- Provide a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar
- Discuss your oral habits and help you stay on track with your dental goals
We believe in prevention, education, and personalized care.
👨👩👧👦 Every Age, Every Smile – We’ve Got You Covered
At Jacksonport Dental Clinic, we care for entire families—from your child’s first visit to your grandparents’ denture care. Here’s how checkups make a difference at every stage:
🧒 For Kids (Ages 2+)
- We make the visit fun and fear-free.
- We check on the health of baby teeth and make sure adult teeth are developing properly.
- Parents often tell us how relieved they are when we help their child form good brushing habits early.
🧑🎓 For Teens
- With changing diets, braces, and sports activities—teens face unique risks.
- We offer custom mouthguards, monitor for wisdom teeth development, and screen for early signs of enamel wear.
👩💼 For Adults
- Whether you’re managing a family, your career, or both—it’s easy to miss the early signs of gum disease or tooth grinding.
- We help detect issues before they turn into root canals or extractions—and offer guidance tailored to your lifestyle.
👴 For Seniors
- Oral health often reflects overall health. We check for dry mouth, gum issues, denture fit, and more.
- It’s never too late to maintain or improve your smile—we’re here to help every step of the way.
💬 A Real Story That Stuck with Me
Not long ago, a mother from Martindale brought her 10-year-old son in for a routine visit. She mentioned he seemed fine, but she just wanted to “get it over with before school started.” We took some quick X-rays and found a tiny cavity starting to form between his back molars—a spot that would’ve been impossible to see or feel at home.
A quick filling later, and he was good as new. No pain. No fuss. And a big smile walking out.
That’s the power of catching things early—and why I always tell families, “Don’t wait until it hurts to come in.”
🕐 How Often Should You Visit Us?
For most patients, I recommend every 6 months. But if you have existing dental concerns—like gum disease, diabetes, or a history of cavities—we might want to see you more frequently.
We’ll always personalize your care based on your needs. You’re never “just another patient” here at Jacksonport Dental Clinic.
