Our aim is to help you maintain a healthy mouth and therefore during your routine dental examination we will check your teeth, gums and soft tissues for early signs of any dental problems, such as decay or gum disease. Our soft tissue screening includes a visual check of your gums, inner cheeks and tongue which allows us to spot any infections, ulcers or even mouth cancer at the earliest stages.
At the first appointment we may take photographs of your teeth to better visualise and understand your dental concerns. In addition, we may take x-rays which would help with diagnosis and treatment planning or we may also take impressions of your teeth to make study models so that we can assess how your teeth bite together.
Early detection is essential to maintaining oral health, modify aberrant habits, and treat as needed and as simply as possible. Therefore, we recommend routine dental check up every 6 months.
