Coorparoo family dental routine check-ups
Taking care of your teeth and making sure they stay healthy is a very important thing to do, but you can’t do it alone. Having routine check-ups with our dentist plays a big role in maintaining your oral health, so don’t forget to contact us for an appointment if it’s been a while since you’ve visited us.
Why do I need routine check-ups?
Just like brushing and flossing your teeth, having regular Coorparoo family dental check-ups with our dentist makes a huge contribution to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Our patients typically see us every 6 months for a check-up appointment so that we can make sure everything looks how it should. By doing this, we can detect any problems that you may have with your teeth and treat them as soon as possible. Some examples of the things we can detect in a check-up are gum disease, bacteria build-up and loose or damaged teeth. These appointments are really helpful because we can catch the problem before it affects your oral health too much.
Routine appointments step-by-step
No matter who the patient is, there are always a few things that we do during the appointment to fully check every aspect of your oral health for any issues. We are dedicated to doing everything we can to make sure that your teeth and gums are staying healthy, and these routine check-ups help us do that.
Thorough examination
One of the first things we will do in a Coorparoo family dental routine check-up appointment with you is carry out a full examination of your teeth. This allows us to have a look at how healthy your teeth are on the surface, and means we can detect things such as bacteria build-up, chips, misalignment and more.
Scans
If we feel it is necessary, we may also take some X-rays to get a clear image of your teeth and gums. This will help us to detect problems early on, such as cavities, tooth decay and teeth that have been impacted by damage.
Discussion
Another thing that we will do during your routine check-up is have an in-depth chat with you about your oral health. This is important as it can give us some insight into your lifestyle and any factors that might put your oral health at risk. One of the things we will talk to you about is any dietary or general health issues that you have that may affect your teeth, as well as lifestyle choices such as smoking or consuming alcohol. We will take everything into account, because something you’re doing might be affecting your oral health without you knowing. We will also discuss your teeth-cleaning habits with you, to ensure that you are cleaning your teeth in the best way possible. Your routine check-up with us also gives you an opportunity to ask us any questions you might have about your oral health, and we will do our best to answer them for you.
Plan any treatments needed
After we have done everything mentioned above, we will implement a treatment plan for you if you need it. From a deep clean to Coorparoo family dental implants, we can set up a plan for you to help you achieve the smile you want.
