Our dental check-up procedure
Your dentist will examine your teeth, looking for any signs of tooth decay or other damage. They will also check your gums for any early signs of inflammation or gum disease. Your dentist will also take into consideration your medical history and any past dental treatment you have received.
Depending on your individual oral health, our dentists may recommend getting X-rays taken during your appointment. This helps us to check for any problems with your teeth and gums that might not be visible, including the enamel layer, for children, any emerging teeth, and signs of decay.
One of the most important aspects of a routine dental appointment is the professional scale and clean. Our dentists will remove any built-up plaque and tartar from your teeth that might be missed during your regular brushing and flossing routine. The teeth cleaning process involves the use of specialised instruments to reach those hard-to-get places, leaving your teeth feeling clean and looking great.
Sometimes your dentist may recommend a fluoride treatment. Fluoride is a natural chemical that helps strengthen your teeth against tooth decay, plaque and enamel wear. Your dentist will apply topical fluoride directly to your teeth.

A dental check-up will generally take around 30 minutes. This allows enough time for a thorough clean, general check-up and any other treatments or services your dentist may recommend to you.
It’s important to have a regular dental scale and clean to remove any plaque or tartar build-up on your teeth since your last visit.
This not only helps to keep your teeth looking their best but also prevents gum disease and keeps your mouth healthy. Regular teeth cleaning and brushing at home is not as effective as visiting the dentist. A dentist may also be able to help remove stains on your teeth from coffee, tea, or red wine.
We certainly do! Just like adults, we recommend that children have a check-up and a cleaning every six months, to ensure their teeth are healthy and developing as they should be.
As family dentists, we pride ourselves on being able to provide a positive experience for children visiting the dentist to ensure a routine dental check-up isn’t traumatic.
