What is included in a
Initial Appointment?
A full examination:
Your Dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and mouth, looking for signs of disease or other problems. Their goal is to
help maintain your oral health and to prevent problems from becoming serious, through early detection and prompt treatment.
X-rays:
Depending on your age, risks of disease and symptoms, your dentist may recommend X-rays. They can diagnose problems otherwise unnoticed, such as damage to
jawbones, impacted teeth, abscesses, decay between the teeth and under existing fillings. As a precaution, you should always inform your dentist if you are pregnant, in this
instance X-rays will only be taken where absolutely necessary.
Scale and Clean:
Checkups can include a complete scale and clean treatment if requested, either from your Dentist/ Dental Hygienist/ Therapist. Special instruments
allow cleaning below the gum line, removing built-up plaque and tartar that can cause gum disease, cavities, bad breath and other problems.
How Long Should I Go Between Visits?
How long you need between visits is at the recommendation of your Dentist. Regular visits vary between between 3,6 or 12 months. Any treatment required will be discussed
by your Dentist. We recommend that treatment appointments be made before leaving our surgery so you can book at a time that fits in with your schedule.
