Dental Check-up Procedures
Comprehensive Dental Examination
Your Applecross dentist will examine your teeth and gums for signs of decay and periodontal disease. Your bite and jaw alignment will also be examined for abnormalities.
Dental X-rays and other diagnostic procedures may also be performed by your Applecross dentist.
During the examination, your Applecross dentist will ask about your lifestyle, diet, and oral hygiene routine.
Your Applecross dentist will also ask about any health problems you have and any medications you’re taking.
Discussion
At this part of the check-up, your Applecross dentist will discuss your exam results, the effects of your current medications, and the proper oral care.
If there’s a need for any treatment, options will be discussed with you.
At Epsom Dental Care Applecross, we are more than happy to give you all the dental advice you need.
Professional Dental Cleaning
A professional scale and clean removes stubborn plaque build-up from your teeth. During the cleaning procedure, your Applecross dentist will use special tools to remove stubborn plaque build-up. This process is called scaling.
When the scaling procedure is finished, your teeth will be buffed and polished.
The last step is flossing. This is to make sure the areas between your teeth and underneath the gumline are free from any debris.
Scheduling Next Visit
Depending on the need for a follow-up check-up, your Applecross dentist will recommend you come back for continued care.
