Frequently Asked Questions

  • For most people, we recommend a dental check-up every six months. However, this can vary depending on your oral health history and risk factors. Some patients benefit from more frequent visits, especially if they have ongoing gum issues or a history of dental problems. We’ll advise you on the best schedule for your needs after your first assessment.

  • Your check-up will include a full examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. We’ll look for signs of decay, gum disease, wear, or any other issues that might need attention. We may also take X-rays if necessary to assess areas we can’t see with the naked eye. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and we’ll always explain any findings clearly.

We’ll also provide parents with practical advice on brushing, diet, and preventive care for children.
