The most common reason to visit your dentist is for your routine examination. These appointments are essential to your on-going dental care as they give us the chance to fully assess your mouth, teeth, and gums for any issues. Not every dental issue is noticeable, so it takes a dentist to spot any signs of decay or gum disease.
Book a free consultationDuring your appointment, we will examine and assess your teeth, gums and mouth, looking for signs of decay, infection, oral cancer, or a misaligned bite.
We will ask if you’ve had any problems since your last visit so you can raise any concerns you might 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.
Prevention is always better than cure so it’s important for us to take a look at your teeth and gums at least twice a year. We can spot potential problems before they get a chance to get worse. Some issues, such as a cavity, can result in more costly treatment needed further down the line to treat properly if they are left.
Your dentist can also spot if your brushing routine at home needs some improvement. You’ll receive plenty of guidance on how to clean properly and protect your smile from future issues.
Get in touchYou should aim to see your dentist for a check-up twice a year. However, you may not need to see us every six months and your dentist will let you know when you need to come back for your next check-up. If you have any problems between check-ups please phone us to arrange an earlier appointment.
A dental check-up shouldn’t hurt. During your visit, we carefully check your teeth and gums for signs of decay or infection, using small and sterile tools. You may feel some discomfort if we need to scrape one of your teeth or use suction, but this is short-lived.
