Dental Check-Up

Dental check-ups are a crucial procedure that allow your dentist to detect any dental problems early, before they develop into a larger issue.

This often allows for simpler, less invasive treatment, and can even mean some treatments can be avoided all together. The Australian Dental Association recommends dental check-ups are undertaken twice a year.

At Glebe Hill Dental, the dentist will:

●       Perform a periodontal screening to check for gum disease

●       Check for any oral cancers that may be developing

●       Do a thorough check for any dental caries (cavities) that may be forming

●       Assess previous dental treatment for any deterioration

●       Investigate for any signs of grinding or TMJ issues

●       As needed, take digital dental x-rays to assess for decay between the teeth and to check under any old fillings that may be present

●       Apply Fluoride treatments, as required, to help prevent any future tooth decay.

Once this examination has been completed, the dentist will discuss any findings with you to ensure you have a thorough understanding of your dental health. If treatment is required, they will also discuss treatment options and costs to ensure any treatment is tailored to your specific needs.
