THE IMPORTANCE OF ROUTINE DENTAL EXAMINATIONS
Booking a routine dental examination every six to 12 months is important to assess the overall health of your teeth, gum and jaw and to ensure any problems are discovered, diagnosed and treated early.
During your routine examinations, our dentists will inspect the health of your teeth, gums and mouth as well as perform a scale and clean. These checkups are usually covered by private health insurer’s.
Occasionally we will need to take X-rays to diagnose potential sub-surface issues such as damage to jawbones, impacted teeth, abscesses, cysts or tumours, and decay between the teeth.
At City Central Dental we offer up-to-date digital x-rays providing high resolution x-rays to aid diagnosis and preventative dentistry.
PROFESSIONAL TEETH CLEANING
A professional clean is recommended twice a year, to remove calculus from your teeth. Calculus can cause your teeth to appear yellow and stained, cause bleeding gums, contribute to the development of gum disease and cause bad breath.
PRACTICING GOOD DENTAL CARE AT HOME
The most important factor in maintaining a healthy mouth is the care you provide for yourself at home. That is why all of our dentists are focused on providing you with expert advice and education on how to properly take care of your teeth and gums at home.
At City Central Dental, our team provides oral hygiene instructions and patient education as part of our routine check-up appointments, to ensure that you have all the right tools to keep your mouth as healthy as possible between recall appointments.
