The earlier we spot possible issues, the better the chance we can act and preserve your teeth
Dental check-ups are far more than a box-ticking exercise; they are used as a preventative way to keep your smile, excellent oral health and teeth in tip-top condition. Dental check-ups are imperative for also decreasing your chances of gum disease and risk other future dental issues.
Being consistent with dental check-ups allows our dentist to see if there are any early signs of decay, gum disease, or other detrimental conditions that contribute to poor dental health. We are big advocates of a preventative dentistry rather than a reactive approach. The earlier we spot possible issues, the better the chance that we can act and therefore preserve your teeth, reducing the possibility of tooth loss.
At a check-up, one of our experienced dentists will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth and also ask you about any general health problems that you may have experienced since your last visit, either to us or another dental practice. We will also give you general lifestyle advice to preserve healthy teeth and offer teeth-cleaning habits if required for some patients.
,How often you should visit us for dental check-ups depends on your specific situation but you can be sure that we’ll come to the best possible arrangements for your circumstances. Generally speaking, the lower the risk of dental issues and the better dental health you have, you’ll visit us a lot less regularly, of course, perhaps only every 12-24 months. However, if you have bigger issues with your teeth that need to be checked on a more regular basis, you may visit us every six months or so.
