Regular Check-Ups & Cleans – The Foundation of Good Oral Health

Regular dental check-ups are vital to maintaining good oral health. A check-up enables us to assess your oral health for early signs of diseases, whether on the soft tissues, gums or teeth.

Check-ups must be conducted regularly so that we can act on any signs of disease before they become a significant problem and extensive/expensive treatment is necessary.

Regular cleans, otherwise known as scale and clean, are also essential to maintaining good oral health for your gums and teeth. The cleaning process leaves your teeth clean of stains set on your teeth from things such as coffee, red wine and cigarettes, leaving you with a brighter and healthier-looking smile.

But not only this, but during clean, hard, and soft calcified deposits that form on teeth are removed. If these deposits are not removed in time, they become something known as calculus – which contains disease-carrying bacteria that can cause tooth decay and inflammation of the gums.

This is referred to as a periodontal disease; if left untreated, it can cause the gums in your mouth to recede, exposing the roots of your teeth. This results in irreversible damage that may lead to your teeth becoming loose and could result in losing your teeth.
