Maintaining the health and hygiene of your teeth and gums through regular dental checkups are a great way to prevent dental disease.
By scheduling a checkup for you and your family at Officer Dental Care every 6 months, you can be assured that your teeth are being successfully cared for by our experienced oral health care professionals.
Your oral health is fundamental to the overall health of your body and at Officer Dental Care, we’re passionate about providing you and your family with gentle preventive dental care.
Not only do routine checkups maintain a beautiful smile that boosts your confidence, but they also help you to avoid big dental bills or treatments later down the track.
What to Expect
Our professional and experienced dentists carry out a number of procedures and assessments during a routine checkup to ensure your oral health and hygiene is in the best condition. Each checkup begins with a thorough assessment of your mouth, teeth, gums, and other soft tissues. Additionally, x-rays are taken to allow our dentists to see areas between the teeth or under the gumlines that might not otherwise be visible.
From here, we can discuss any modifications that need to be made to your oral health routine, as well as any treatments which may be necessary. Our dentists also screen for tissue changes, whilst keeping aware of any developing gum disease or bone loss.
Our preventative checkups also include a scale and polish to remove plaque and stain build-up. We will also apply fluoride varnish and fissure sealants if required, giving your teeth an extra boost in protection against decay.
FAQ
A preventive dentistry check-up typically includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. Your dentist may also perform a dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can help prevent cavities and gum disease. Additionally, your dentist may provide oral hygiene instructions and recommend fluoride treatments or dental sealants to help protect your teeth from decay.
A dental preventive care is always preferred over having to experience an oral health problem. Preventive dental care is important, as oral issues like poor oral hygiene can cause a whole host of issues for the rest of your body. In fact, oral conditions like gum disease have been linked to systemic health issues, including diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, respiratory diseases, and arthritis. Taking care of your teeth can help reduce your risk of suffering from problems that impact your overall health and well-being
Common preventive dentistry treatments include regular dental cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and oral health education. These treatments aim to prevent dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear by maintaining good oral hygiene and addressing any early signs of dental problems.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for healthy teeth and gums.
