Would it be a business expense?

You can claim it as an itemized deduction if you have enough other medical bills to exceed 7.5% of your AGI.
You can only claim it as a business expense if you can prove that this check up is going to advance your career/business. You probably need to be employed in a field that having clean teeth is a requirement of the job such as an actor or a model. Otherwise, you can't claim it as a business expense.

It might be a business expense if you were an actor or something. I did taxes for an actor once (in the UK) and we got to deduct haircuts.
Otherwise, you have the usual medical expense on Schedule A. You will need a lot more expenses than just a dental check-up to be able to claim any deduction.

YES, IF you're itemizing deductions. It would go on Schedule A with all your medical bills.

If you can itemize your medical expenses, it would go there. You can claim whatever exceeds 7.5% of your income.

it would be a component of your medical expenses - which have a limit and you must be eligible to itemize in order to benefit.

You can lump it in with all of your other medical expenses if you itemize, and your unreimbursed medical expenses exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income.
