More than just a ‘check-up’

A dental check-up is one of the foundations of ensuring you maintain strong oral hygiene. Our friendly dentists will carefully examine your teeth, gums and mouth in order to make sure everything in order, identify any potential problems, or potential signs of anything, whilst also perform an oral mouth cancer screening. Dental Check-ups are advised at least once a year to maintain a healthy mouth.

The importance of dental health check-ups

    Regular dental health check-ups provide your dentist with the opportunity to identify early signs of gum disease or tooth decay, helping to prevent problems from developing. Our aim is to work with you to help you maintain a healthy smile.

    At your first dental health check-up, your dentist will take time to understand you, including your medical history, lifestyle and any concerns you may have. X-rays may be taken if necessary, as these can help assess areas that aren’t visible to the eye, such as the position of wisdom teeth or early signs of possible problems.

    The frequency of your dental health check-ups will depend on your individual needs. Some people may only need to attend once a year, while others may require more visits, particularly if they are undergoing treatment. Your dentist will discuss this with you and recommend a schedule that is right for your smile.
