Prevention is better than cure, so we recommend that you visit us regularly so that we can help you to maintain healthy gums and teeth. For most people an appointment every six months is recommended, but the intervals can vary according to your dental needs. By taking this approach we can help you to avoid dental problems and we can be minimally invasive with any problems that may arise.
During your appointment we will carry out a thorough examination to look for early signs of problems.
We will assess tooth decay, gum disease, tooth wear, jaw problems and cancer.
We will also address any concerns you may have with the appearance or function of your teeth and discuss ways we can help you to improve or enhance your smile and oral health.
We take a preventative approach to dentistry. By maintaining healthy teeth and gums, we can help you avoid dental problems or stop them from worsening. That’s why we recommend you visit us regularly, at least twice a year, or less frequently if you don’t have any ongoing problems.
During your routine appointments, we thoroughly assess your oral health using a seven-step process. This helps us detect issues such as:
- Dental decay
- Dental erosion
- Toothbrush abrasion
- Tooth wear
- Gum disease
- Jaw problems
- Oral cancer
