How Is It Done?
- Comprehensive Examination: Your dentist will carefully examine your teeth, gums, and mouth using visual checks and digital imaging. This thorough assessment helps spot early signs of cavities, gum disease, or other oral health concerns that might not be immediately noticeable.
- Cleaning: We use ultrasonic scaling and polishing to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains to leave your teeth feeling smooth and clean.
- Personalised Advice: After your clean, we provide tailored guidance on maintaining oral hygiene at home. From flossing techniques to dietary tips, we help you care for your teeth and gums between visits.
- Fluoride Treatment (Optional): For extra protection, a quick and painless fluoride treatment can be applied to strengthen enamel and help prevent tooth decay.
Each step is designed to make your visit as effective and comfortable as possible.
FAQS
How often should I book a Check-up and Clean?
We recommend having a Check-up and Clean every six months to keep your oral health at its best. Patients with gum disease or a history of frequent cavities may need more frequent visits. Your dentist will create a personalised schedule to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy.
Does it hurt to get a Check-up and Clean?
Not at all! We use gentle techniques and advanced tools like EMS AirFlow® to make your cleaning comfortable and effective. For patients with dental anxiety, our calming clinic environment and noise-cancelling headphones help ensure a relaxing experience.
Why can’t brushing at home remove all plaque?
Plaque that isn’t removed daily can harden into tartar, which can only be removed professionally. If left untreated, tartar can cause gum inflammation and tooth decay. Regular professional cleans are essential to maintain a healthy, bright smile.
