Routine Dental Check-Up

Routine dental check-ups are key to maintaining good oral health, helping to prevent and diagnose issues early on. While the thought of visiting the dentist might not be appealing, these check-ups are crucial for a healthy smile.

How often is a routine dental check-up necessary?

We recommend visiting every six months, though this may vary based on individual needs. Our advice is personalised, considering your dental health, lifestyle, and risk factors for dental diseases.

What can I expect during a routine dental check-up?

At Dr John Caine's practice, a routine check-up involves:

  • Reviewing your medical and dental history.
  • A comprehensive examination of teeth, gums, and mouth for decay, gum disease, and other conditions.
  • Evaluating bite and jaw issues, including misalignment or teeth grinding.
  • Oral cancer screening, checking your tongue, throat, face, and neck.
  • Taking dental X-rays if necessary to uncover hidden problems.

Following the assessment, we'll discuss any required treatments and schedule your next visit.

Dental anxiety is common, but our team is equipped to ensure your comfort, making visits as stress-free as possible.
