Regular dental check-ups allow your dentist to spot signs of any dental problems early that you may have ahead of time (even the silent ones!) and nip it in its bud. Leave these to deteriorate, and you may get a toothache, need costly and invasive dental treatment (e.g., a root canal treatment, extraction, or dental implants, etc.), or even worse, risk losing your natural teeth unnecessarily.
It is well proven that patients who regularly have dental check-ups and visit a dentist every six months are far less likely to suffer from dental disease than patients who attend sporadically or solely during dental emergencies.
At your dental check-up, your dentist or hygienist will give your teeth and gums their required general maintenance (just like servicing your car!) to help prevent gum disease and tooth decay. This can include some or all of the following:
Scaling and Polishing, to remove tartar
Airflow Stain Removal, to remove stains
Topical Fluoride, to protect your teeth against decay
Be ready to confidently emerge from your dental clinic showing off your pearly white smile.
Our dental professionals will also take you on an educational journey about adopting contemporary oral health habits (such as brushing and flossing daily) that will empower you to take good care of your teeth, gums, and mouth. Many dental problems or diseases are, in fact, 100% preventable with good self-care, so be prepared to start brushing and flossing like a champion!
Our dentists will listen to any concerns you may have about your oral health. The condition of your teeth, gums, mouth, and surrounding tissues of your face and neck will be thoroughly assessed, taking into account your general health, dental and social habits. Any necessary X-rays and/or scans will be taken.
If our dentists identify any dental disease and further treatment is needed, they will discuss your condition, benefits, and risks of each possible treatment option, the procedure of having treatment, and provide you with a personalised treatment plan.
Finally, you will be educated on good oral health habits and be advised on how often you should attend a dental check-up – usually at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, or 24 months, based on your level of dental health.
