Keeping your smile healthy with dental check-ups
Did you know that visiting the dentist just once a year can reduce the risk of tooth decay by 60%? Regular dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining good oral health and preventing potential dental problems from becoming more serious, which is why we offer dental check-ups at all our practices nationwide.
What is a dental check-up?
A dental check-up, also known as a dental exam, is a routine appointment where a dentist assesses the health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. This includes examining your teeth for signs of decay, evaluating the health of your gums, and discussing your overall oral health and habits.
What happens during a check-up?
During a private dental check-up, your dentist will:
Examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any problems or signs of decay
Ask about your general health and any dental concerns or issues you may have had since your last visit
Provide advice on your diet, smoking and alcohol habits, and teeth-cleaning techniques
Schedule your next check-up appointment, if necessary
