Welcome to Massetts Road Dental Practice, where we prioritise your oral health with thorough and personalised dental examinations. Regular check-ups are an essential part of maintaining a healthy smile and catching any potential problems before they become serious.
What is a dental examination?
A dental examination, or check-up, is a comprehensive assessment of your oral health conducted by a dentist. These regular check-ups are crucial for detecting and preventing dental issues early, ensuring your teeth and gums remain healthy.
What do we include in our examinations?
- Comprehensive oral examination: Our dentists conduct a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to identify any signs of decay, disease, or other issues.
- Professional cleaning: During your check up, the dentist will refer you to the dental hygienist to perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar build-up, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and clean. They will also help with daily advice and provide maintenance.
- X-rays: We use advanced digital X-rays to get a clear picture of your teeth and jawbone health, helping us detect issues that are not visible to the naked eye.
- Gum health assessment: We check your gums for any signs of gum disease and provide recommendations for maintaining healthy gums.
- Oral cancer screening: As part of our comprehensive exam, we screen for any signs of oral cancer, ensuring early detection and treatment.
- Personalised advice: Based on your examination results, we provide tailored advice and recommendations to help you maintain excellent oral health at home.
Benefits of regular examinations
- Early detection: Identifying dental issues early allows for more straightforward and less invasive treatments.
- Prevention: Regular check-ups help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
- Maintained oral health: Professional cleanings and examinations keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition.
- Peace of mind: Regular dental visits provide reassurance that your oral health is being monitored and maintained.
