Regular Dental Examination
At DENTL in East Melbourne, we believe that a healthy smile starts with regular check-ups.
Our comprehensive dental examinations are designed to keep your teeth and gums in tip-top shape, catching potential issues before they turn into bigger problems. With our expert team and state-of-the-art technology, we make sure your visits are as comfortable, thorough, and effective as possible—because your smile deserves nothing less.
Why Should You Have a Regular Examination?
A regular dental examination is the cornerstone of preventive dental care. It’s a routine check-up that allows us to assess your overall oral health, identify any potential issues, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed
During your examination, we don’t just look at your teeth; we also evaluate your gums, jaw, and bite, ensuring that every aspect of your oral health is in harmony.
- Comprehensive Oral Examination: We thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, or other potential issues. We also check for any abnormalities that could indicate oral cancer.
- Digital X-Rays: To get a complete picture of your oral health, we may take digital X-rays. These images help us see what’s happening below the surface—like bone loss, impacted teeth, or hidden decay.
- Oral Health Education: We’ll discuss your oral hygiene habits and provide personalized advice on how to keep your teeth and gums healthy between visits.
- Professional Cleaning: Along with your examination, we’ll provide a professional cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, leaving your teeth sparkling clean and your gums healthy.
Regular dental examinations are about more than just keeping your teeth clean—they’re about safeguarding your overall health.
Benefits of Regular Oral Cancer Screenings:
- Early Detection: Increases the chances of successful treatment.
- Peace of Mind: Regular screenings provide reassurance about your oral health.
The Importance of Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is a serious condition that can develop in various parts of the mouth. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment. During your regular examination, we conduct a comprehensive oral cancer screening, looking for any changes in the colour or texture of your oral tissues or any sores that fail to heal properly.
Digital X-Rays: A Closer Look
Digital x-rays are an essential tool in modern dentistry, allowing us to see beyond the surface of your teeth and gums. These x-rays provide detailed images that help us detect problems such as cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth. The process is quick, comfortable, and safe, with minimal radiation exposure compared to traditional x-rays.
Advantages of Digital X-Rays
- High Precision: Provides detailed images for accurate diagnosis.
- Low Radiation: Minimises exposure compared to traditional x-rays.
- Immediate Results: Instant images allow for quick assessment and planning.
Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene Between Visits
Regular dental examinations are just one part of maintaining good oral health. It’s equally important to follow a consistent oral hygiene routine at home. Here are some tips to keep your teeth and gums healthy between visits:
1.
Brush Twice Daily: Use fluoride toothpaste and brush for at least two minutes each time.
2.
Floss Daily: Clean between your teeth to remove plaque and food particles that your toothbrush can’t reach.
3.
Use Mouthwash: Rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gum disease.
4.
Healthy Diet: Limit sugary and acidic foods that can erode enamel and contribute to decay.
5.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help wash away food particles and bacteria.
Combine these practices with regular dental visits for optimal oral health.
