Routine check-ups allow your dentist to help keep your mouth in optimal health. They will examine your teeth, gums and soft tissues in a bid to identify and diagnose any problems early on, helping to minimise your treatment needs and possible discomfort.
In order to get a complete picture of your oral health and view any possible underlying problems your dentist may also, with your consent, decide to take x-rays in this appointment.
Oral cancer screening is also carried out within your dental check-up.
