Frequently Asked Questions

1. How often should I book a dental check-up and clean?

We recommend visiting your dentist every six months. Regular check-ups help detect early signs of dental issues and maintain healthy gums and teeth.

2. Does a dental cleaning hurt?

Most patients find the procedure painless and refreshing. If you have sensitive teeth, let us know and can take extra care to make your visit relaxing. We occasionally use local anaesthesia for very sensitive patients or very sensitive teeth.

3. What happens during a dental check-up?

Your dentist will perform a full mouth examination, check your gums, screen for oral cancer, and remove plaque and tartar, and polish the teeth. You’ll leave with a fresh, clean smile and a clear understanding of your oral health. We will also discuss any recommendations to help you maintain good oral hygiene.

4. Why is a professional cleaning important if I brush every day?

Even with regular brushing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. A professional clean helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, and support long-term dental health.

5.    How often do I need x-rays?

X-rays are recommended to check the sides of the teeth, the areas that can't be seen by direct vision, to detect early signs of decay, or any decay lesions that require attention and management.

The routine x-rays are recommended every 2 years for the back teeth, and a panoramic x-ray is recommended once every 5 years.
