Check Ups in Wilmslow

Dental Examination Appointments

We recommend regular check-ups to maintain a good daily oral health routine and to provide a preventative approach to dental issues. They allow your dentist to determine if you have any dental problems and advise appropriate treatment options. Leaving problems untreated could potentially make them more difficult to treat in the future.

It is always best to address any issues early, or, if possible, prevent them altogether.

What happens during a dental check-up?

During your first visit, a full health history will be taken to provide us with a broad understanding of your individual needs. Digital photographs, impressions, and digital x-rays may be taken, if required. The dentist will discuss the results and explain any dental issues that may require further care. With all follow up appointments you will be given your medical history to review and confirm for any changes.

• examine your teeth, gums, and mouth
• ask about your general health and any problems you may have had with your teeth, mouth, or gums since your last visit
• ask about, and give you advice on, your diet, smoking and alcohol use, and teeth-cleaning habits
• mouth cancer screening
• discuss a date for your next visit

After your check-up, your dentist will recommend a date for your next visit. Some people schedule a dental check-up once or twice a year, while others may require more frequent visits. The lower your risk of dental problems, the longer you can wait before your next check-up.
