Thorough dental examinations

Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite and overall oral health. They may also check for signs of decay, gum disease, tooth wear and other changes within the mouth.

The recommended interval varies from person to person. Your dentist will suggest a suitable schedule based on your oral health, medical history and risk of developing dental problems.

X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary. They can help your dentist identify problems that may not be visible during a routine examination, such as decay between teeth or issues beneath the gums.

Your dentist will explain their findings and discuss the available treatment options with you. You will have the opportunity to ask questions before deciding how you would like to proceed.
