Examinations & Teeth Cleans

What is involved in my Initial Examination & Clean?

Dental exams & cleans are required to keep you in perfect oral health. You can look at it like servicing your car! The longer you leave your service the more chance there is of things going wrong.

On your first examination we will look through at all your teeth and soft tissues (as they need to be looked after as well) and list what has been done in the past and what may need to be done. We will also try to establish the last time you have had dental x-rays (we advise these to be done every 2 years) if you are due for these we will request that you get 2 (One for each side of the mouth) If the dentist finds you to be free of cavities etc he/she will then request that you have a clean and fluoride treatment and then set you up for your recall visit in 6 months. If issues have been found then a full dental treatment plan will be set up for you. This will involve setting up appointments, prioritizing the treatment as well as quoting for the work that needs to be done. We will make all your appointment times to work into your busy life. This will see you through to perfect oral health; after the treatment is completed to get your beautiful healthy smile back, the next time you see us will be only for your minor servicing! 

Why Examinations and teeth cleaning is important

Visiting Selandra dentist in Clyde is of utmost importance for several reasons. Firstly, regular examinations are essential for maintaining good oral health. These examinations allow the dentist to assess the condition of your teeth and gums, identify any potential issues, and provide appropriate treatment or preventive measures.

Secondly, professional teeth cleaning plays a crucial role in oral hygiene. Dental hygienists are trained to remove plaque and tartar buildup, which cannot be achieved through regular brushing and flossing alone. This cleaning process helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.

Furthermore, visiting our Clyde dental surgery ensures early detection and treatment of dental problems, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer, which can have serious consequences if left untreated.

Lastly, regular dental visits provide an opportunity for education and guidance on proper oral hygiene practices, as well as personalized advice on diet and lifestyle choices that can impact oral health. By prioritizing dental care, individuals can maintain a healthy smile and overall well-being.
