Your dentist will have a look around to identify problems or possible problem areas of your teeth and mouth. The dental check-up typically takes around thirty minutes to an hour so this is an opportunity to discuss any oral health concerns or cosmetic dentistry desires, like teeth whitening or alignment.
A dental hygienist will do professional teeth cleaning and polishing. This procedure cleans your teeth and gums deeper than daily brushing at home, and can help remove plaque and tartar before decay or gum disease sets in.
Once the exam and cleaning are complete, your dentist and/or hygienist will discuss with you any problem areas that are found and what you can do to avoid future dental issues.
Sometimes dental x-rays may be suggested to find hidden decay and the beginning of gum disease. This way, you can take quick action before real problems take place.

A regular dental check-up is important for maintaining good oral health. It helps in early detection of problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer. By visiting your dentist regularly, you can catch these issues early and avoid more serious problems down the line.
During a check-up, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums, take x-rays if necessary, and clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar. This thorough cleaning helps prevent cavities and keeps your gums healthy.
Regular visits also give your dentist a chance to provide personalised advice on oral hygiene and brushing techniques, ensuring you keep your teeth in the best condition possible.
It’s generally recommended to have a dental check-up and clean every six months. However, the frequency can vary depending on your individual dental health needs. Some people might need to visit more often if they have issues like gum disease or a history of frequent cavities.
Regular visits allow your dentist to monitor your oral health closely and address any problems early. If you’re unsure about how often you should go, ask your dentist for personalised advice based on your dental history and current condition.
During a dental check-up and clean, you can expect a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. Your dentist will look for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. X-rays might be taken to get a closer look at areas that aren’t visible during the exam.
The cleaning process involves removing plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. Your dentist or hygienist will also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile looking bright. They might provide tips on brushing and flossing techniques to help you maintain good oral hygiene at home.
Overcoming a fear of the dentist can be challenging, but there are several tips that can help.
First, find a dentist who understands your anxiety and is willing to take the time to make you feel comfortable. Communicate your fears openly, so they know how to best support you.
Practising relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or listening to calming music, can also help reduce anxiety.
Consider bringing a friend or family member to your appointment for added support.
Gradually exposing yourself to the dental environment can also help you become more comfortable over time.
Remember, modern dental practices offer many ways to minimise discomfort, including pain-free treatments and sedation options.
Bleeding gums when brushing can be a sign of gum disease, specifically gingivitis. This condition is caused by plaque build-up along the gum line, which can irritate and inflame the gums.
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are important for preventing gum disease. Your dentist can remove plaque and tartar buildup that you might miss at home.
To improve your gum health, brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled brush, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash. If your gums continue to bleed, schedule an appointment with your dentist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Maintaining good oral hygiene at home is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Brush your teeth at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush. Make sure to brush for at least two minutes, covering all surfaces of your teeth. Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth and along the gum line.
Using an antiseptic mouthwash can help reduce plaque and prevent gum disease. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks, as they can contribute to tooth decay. Regular dental check-ups are also crucial for catching any issues early and keeping your oral health on track.
Preventing tooth decay involves maintaining good oral hygiene and making smart dietary choices. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque and food particles. Limit your intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, as they can contribute to tooth decay. Drinking water, especially fluoridated water, can help rinse away food particles and strengthen your enamel. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for catching any early signs of decay and keeping your teeth healthy. Your dentist might also recommend fluoride treatments or dental sealants to provide extra protection against cavities.
The tools used by your dentist may vary depending on your individual dental needs. Our fully qualified dental practitioners will choose the most appropriate tools to provide comprehensive teeth cleaning while ensuring your comfort and safety. Dentists will usually use a combination of manual and powered dental instruments, but don’t worry. They’re much less scary than the old-fashioned, cartoonish drills and needles that have widely contributed to dental anxiety across the globe. Commonly used dental tools include water spray and suction, a scaler, dental floss, polishing paste and a dental mirror to examine and clean your teeth effectively.
Absolutely. We encourage our patients to ask our friendly and experienced staff any questions about oral health or cosmetic dentistry needs during dental check-ups. Suppose you’re interested in anything from teeth whitening to teeth alignment treatments like Invisalign. In that case, discussing your goals with the dentist can get the wheels rolling on developing a personalised plan that considers your schedule, needs and budget.
