Importance of Dental Examination Purley

Many people underestimate the importance of regular dental checkups. However, these examinations play a crucial role in preventative dental care through early detection of oral health issues. Regular routine checkups, allow prompt treatment, preventing matters from worsening and more costly.

What to Expect During Your Dental Examination Purley

Our dental examinations are thorough and designed to assess the overall health of your mouth. Here's what you can expect with a routine check-up:

  • Visual Examination: Our dentists will visually examine your teeth, and gums for any signs of problems like cavities, gum disease, or possibly early signs of oral cancer.
  • X-rays (if necessary): Dental X-rays may be recommended to provide a more detailed view of your teeth and jawbone, especially if there are any concerns about cavities, bone loss, or wisdom teeth. These are quick, pain-free, and take place during the check-up.
  • Teeth Cleaning: At the end of any dental examination, our dentists will provide brief teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can contribute to gum disease and tooth decay. If your teeth require a more thorough professional cleaning, we will refer you to our hygienist to clean your teeth and protect your gums.
  • Oral Hygiene Education: Our dentist will provide personalised advice on maintaining good oral hygiene habits at home, including proper brushing and flossing techniques, and what size floss to be using specifically for your gums.
