Why Regular Check Ups and Cleanings Are Important

​

Routine dental visits every six months are key to maintaining excellent oral health and overall well-being. These appointments help prevent minor dental issues from escalating into more serious conditions that may require extensive treatment. Regular cleanings also contribute to the prevention of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while also keeping your smile healthy and confident.

​

What to Expect During Your Visit 

​

During every check-up, our dentists perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, to look for early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other potential oral health issues. We also use X-rays to detect areas that aren't visible to the naked eye. By catching these problems early, we can intervene promptly, helping to preserve your natural teeth and reduce the need for more complex procedures down the line.

​

A professional cleaning is also part of the process, where plaque and tartar (calculus) buildup are carefully removed. This step ensures that your teeth are not only sparkling clean, but also polished to leave them feeling smooth and refreshed.

​

More than Just Cleaning 

​

Beyond cleaning, your dental check-up is an opportunity for a thorough evaluation of your oral health. If any problems are detected, we will discuss appropriate treatment options with you and provide personalised advice to support your long-term oral health.

To keep your oral health in check, we recommend scheduling a check-up and clean every six months. For more information or to book an appointment, contact Chester Dental Epping and take a proactive approach to maintaining your smile.
