General Check Up And Clean

Check-up at Sydney dental clinics­­­­­ A check-up is a regular preventative measure to control the health of teeth and gum and stop minor problems from becoming major ones. We contact our patients every 6 months for such a periodic examination when we can thoroughly and carefully inspect their teeth, gums and oral tissue to ensure these are in the best of health. At an initial visit, we take care to ask about your medical and dental history and any medication you are taking. These things can have an impact on your dental health, for example, diabetes can affect your gums, or gum disease can have an impact on your heart and certain medications can cause bad breath or dry mouth. To confirm our clinical findings, we might take some X-rays to make sure there are no hidden issues between the teeth or under the old fillings. If a female patient is pregnant, we make sure that they inform us before we take any X-rays, so we can prevent from any radiation exposure to the baby. So we either use a lead apron or postpone the X-ray examination. We complete this periodic check-up by taking some photos of your teeth and gums. After analysing all the data collected, we discuss everything with you. We carefully explain any treatments needed and the reasons for these. We show you the X-ray and photo records so you can better understand the reason for our recommendations. At this time, you also have the opportunity to pose questions or suggestions. We always take all your concerns into account in our treatment planning.
