Dental check-ups should be a routine part of your healthcare, playing an essential role in your oral and dental health.

Routine dentist check-ups should be carried out every 6 months, though your dentist may wish to see you less or more frequently depending on your dental health and risk factors for decay.

Being Kind To Your Teeth

Attending routine dentist appointments is a huge part of being kind to your teeth. Much of protecting your teeth from needing restorative treatment involves prevention. This is where your dentist comes in. During your check-up, we use ultra-magnifying loupes to spot problems with your teeth that you might not pick up on at home. This preventive mindset will help you to maintain and retain your natural teeth for as long as possible.

In an ideal world, we want to help you keep restorative treatments like crowns to a minimum. Still, if the need for this arises, we will create bespoke restorations (crowns, fillings, and tooth replacement restorations), that support your dental wellbeing.

FAQs

What Happens During a Routine Dentist Check-Up?

During your routine check-up, we will:

  • Check over your teeth for signs of decay.
  • Check over your teeth for cracks and fractures.
  • Check over your tooth alignment.
  • Recommend when to visit the hygienist to have your gums checked over.
  • Advise on how much plaque and tartar buildup is present along your gum line and how this might be affecting your mouth.
  • Take an X-ray of your mouth (generally once a year).
  • Show you how to brush and floss your teeth with good technique.
  • Show you how to use an electric toothbrush efficiently and outline the benefits of using one (if you do not already).
