Regular dental examinations are important to your overall oral health as they allow us to check for any problems and take steps to prevent them.
Why have a regular dental examination?
Regular dental examinations are important to your overall oral health as they allow us to check for any problems and take steps to prevent them. These assessments allow us to spot signs of decay and gum disease. Even if you have a fantastic dental care regime at home, it’s important to have a dentist examine your teeth, gums and mouth for any underlying issues.
A standard check-up only takes around ten minutes and mostly involves a thorough examination where we look over the health of your teeth and how they fit together when you bite. We will take x-rays if we think they are necessary to check the internal structures of your teeth. We also include oral cancer screening in general examinations.
