General Check-Ups
Importance of general dental check-ups
The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends six-monthly general check-ups.
These appointments will include a professional dental cleaning that’s more effective than your brushing and flossing, no matter how diligently you clean your teeth.
Your Regular Procedure
What happens at a dental check-up?
- How each part of your mouth functions in relation to the others
- Your bite (occlusion)
- Teeth alignment
- Condition of jaw bone
- Check for build-ups of plaque and tartar, which cause tooth decay and gum disease
- Look for cavities – small holes on the surface of teeth, caused by decay
- Check for signs of decay in dental enamel – the outer, protective layer of a tooth
- Take X-rays to identify any areas of decay in dentine – the layer beneath enamel
- Examine your gums for any signs of periodontal disease
Professional dental cleaning
Special instruments are used to gently remove these deposits – including those in hard-to-reach areas – without damaging your teeth.
A professional cleaning also includes:
- Polishing your teeth
- Flossing between your teeth
- Reviewing your brushing and flossing techniques
The Big Question
Should you visit your dentist more often for a check-up?
- Smoke
- Have diabetes
- Are pregnant
- Have a weakened immune system
