A dental checkup allows for a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. It also provides us with an opportunity to ask you if you are having any issues with your teeth that you would like us to investigate for you.
We will carry out any necessary investigations and treatments during your appointment. This may include x-rays which will help us to identify the position of any incoming teeth including wisdom teeth.
If we notice a buildup of tartar on your teeth, we will perform a scale and polish to remove the build-up. We may also apply some prophylaxis paste which is a preventative treatment.
Advice will be given to ensure your oral hygiene is maintained or improved. We may also suggest a dental hygienist appointment which will provide additional teeth cleaning and patient information.
Depending on our findings, further treatment may be required. If this is the case, we will inform you of what to expect and arrange the necessary appointments with you.
