Check upS

Regular check ups are the best way to ensure that your teeth remain healthy. During dental examinations we will: 

 

•  Ask about your medical history 

• Carry out a full examination of your mouth, teeth and gums, checking for decay, defective fillings, tooth infections, gum disease, tooth wear and mouth cancer. 

• Ask about your general health and any problems you have had with your teeth, mouth or gums since your last visit 

• Ask about and give advice on diet, smoking and drinking habits 

• Ask about your teeth-cleaning routine and give you advice on the best ways to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy 

• Explain any risks, as well as dental costs, of all treatment you may need 

• Discuss with you when your next visit should be 

 

Hygienist appointments

Hygienist appointments are an important part of good oral health care. Our hygienists have two main objectives. Firstly they will remove plaque and calculus from your teeth using ultrasonic or hand scalers, then they polish your teeth to remove marks or stains. If a lot of plaque or calculus has built up you may need to have a few visits.
