Why do I need routine dental care?
Regular dental examinations help us to catch things early and give you the most up to date techniques to ensure that your mouth stays healthy. We believe prevention is better than cure, so it is important for us to take a look at your teeth and gums at least twice a year. We can spot potential problems before they can get worse, avoiding the need for further treatment.
At your six month dental examination, we assess the health of your teeth, gums, the tissues that line the mouth, the tongue and your chewing muscles. We also take X-rays to help us see in between the teeth so that we can make sure they are healthy too.
What does a dental check up involve?
During your appointment, we examine your mouth and assess your teeth, gums, soft tissues, and mouth. We look out for signs of decay, infection, a misaligned bite, and oral cancer or other abnormalities.
In addition to our visual examination, we may take dental X-rays to give a more detailed view of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. Using X-rays, we can detect issues such as cavities, impacted teeth, bone loss, and structural abnormalities that may not be visible during a visual examination alone.
We ask if you have had any problems since your last visit and give you the chance to raise any concerns you may have. To help you keep your teeth in tip-top condition at home, we will advise the best cleaning techniques and share tips on diet, alcohol and tobacco consumption.
If we find anything that requires treatment, we will create your treatment plan, including the best course of action and expected costs.
