Examination - A dental checkup

A dental check is much more comprehensive than most people are aware. During your exam we do not only check the teeth but also the gums, tongue, lips, cheeks, tonsils, jaw joints and head/neck for any potential problems.

Benefits of Regular Check-ups:

Its allows us to deliver preventive advice tailored to your specific oral health needs.
We can spot problems early and avoid the need for more costly and invasive treatments.
We can monitor any potential issues that might give rise to problems in the future.
An opportunity to carry out an obligatory head, neck, and oral cancer screenings at every check-up.

What happens at a Dental Check-up?

At each check-up, your dentist will:

Ask about your general health and any problems you’ve had with your teeth, mouth or gums since your last visit.
Ask about, and give you advice on, your diet, smoking and alcohol use, and teeth-cleaning habits.
Examine your head and neck for signs of cancer.
Assess the health of your jaw joints.
Examine not only your teeth but your gums and remaining soft tissues in your mouth.
Take necessary x-rays to assess the inside of your teeth, roots, and bone levels.
Reach an accurate diagnosis and formulate a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Help arrange your next appointments with our reception team.
