What is a Dental Check-Up?
A dental check-up is a general assessment of your oral health. Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums and mouth to check that everything is in order. If you have cavities, gum problems or any other problems, it is a great opportunity to recognise and solve them before they grow. With regular check-ups, you can stay healthy and show off your smile with confidence!
Why is it important?
- Early Diagnosis: If cavities or gum problems are caught before they start, treatment is much easier.
- Long-Term Health: Regular check-ups keep your teeth and mouth strong for years to come.
- Go Easy on Your Wallet: Small problems are solved before they escalate into expensive treatments.
- Let Your Smile Shine: You will always feel like yourself, without aesthetic and functional losses.
How is Dental Check-Up Performed?
This process designed entirely based on your comfort:
- First Glance: Your dentist will examine your mouth in general; teeth, gums and tongue will all be checked.
- Detailed Inspection: Problems such as caries, fractures or gingivitis are closely examined.
- X-ray (if needed): A quick X-ray can be taken to find problems that are not visible to the eye; this will clarify everything.
- Plaque and Tartar Control: If there is plaque or stones accumulated on the tooth surfaces, these are detected.
- Jaw and Bite: The harmony of your jaw and teeth is checked to make sure everything is working properly.
- Cleaning (if needed): If you have tartar, a professional cleaning will make your teeth shine and relax.
- Personalized Suggestions: After the examination, your dentist will explain the situation and tell you how to protect your mouth.
How Often Should It Be Done?
We usually recommend a check-up twice a year. However, this may vary depending on the condition of your teeth; your dentist will tell you the most appropriate time. Regular visits are the secret of a healthy mouth!
