Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is a regular dental check-up important?

    Regular dental check-ups are crucial to maintain optimal oral health. They can assist in the early detection and prevention of oral diseases such as tooth decay, gum diseases and oral cancer. Moreover, dental check-ups can identify hidden problems that you may not be aware of, ensuring timely treatment and reducing potential complications in the future.

  • What does a dental check-up involve?

    A dental check-up generally includes a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, mouth and sometimes neck and face. This may involve digital X-rays for detecting decay, bone loss or tumours. The dentist will check for signs of oral cancer, diabetes or vitamin deficiencies. Moreover, your dentist will also evaluate your bite, saliva and movement of your lower jaw joints (TMJs).

  • What is dental cleaning, and why is it necessary?

    Dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, involves removing dental plaque and tartar that build up on your teeth over time. It's necessary because regular brushing and flossing at home can't remove all the plaque and tartar. If left untreated, they can lead to gum disease, cavities, bad breath and eventual tooth loss.

  • What should I do between each dental check-up?

    Between dental check-ups, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene at home. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing daily and using mouthwash to remove any remaining debris. Also, maintain a balanced diet and limit sugary snacks and drinks, which contribute to tooth decay.
