Routine dental care - quick overview

What is routine dental care?

Routine dental care is the cornerstone of maintaining a healthy smile and your overall oral well-being. It involves regular dental checkups and cleaning to prevent, identify and address issues with your teeth before they escalate. This proactive approach helps in spotting things like:

  • Tooth decay
  • Gum disease
  • More serious diseases, such as oral cancer

With us, you can enjoy oral hygiene care that not only protects your teeth and gums but makes sure your smile stays vibrant and healthy for years to come.

When is routine dental care important?

  • If it’s been over six months since your last check-up – Regular visits help catch issues early.

  • When you notice bleeding gums or sensitivity – Early signs of gum disease need prompt attention.

  • If you experience bad breath or plaque buildup – Professional cleanings keep your mouth fresh and healthy.

  • For maintaining dental work like fillings or crowns – Routine care helps prolong their lifespan.

  • To prevent costly and complex treatments later – Preventive care saves time, money, and discomfort.

What happens during a dental check-up?

At your dental checkup appointment, we will chat about any dental worries you’ve got, examine your mouth and put together a personalised treatment plan. The examination will include:

  • Checking for signs of tooth decay and gum disease
  • Assessing oral hygiene and your at-home brushing routine
  • Checking your jaw joints for any issues
  • Checking for signs of oral cancer

If needed, we will also take x-rays to get a full picture of your teeths’ health and the bone levels in your jaw. There’s always time for your questions, and if you need any treatments, we’ll lay out all the details, including costs, in a clear plan for you.

No, you don’t need X-rays taken at every checkup. Your dentist will assess if they’re necessary based on your individual needs.
The length of a dental checkup can vary depending on several factors, but here’s a general guide: For a routine checkup with no underlying issues:
  • Basic cleaning and exam: 20 to 30 minutes
  • New patient exam and cleaning: 45 to 60 minutes
If you need extra procedures, such as an X-ray, this can add some more time.
