Consultation and Regular Follow Up

When you visit us for a dental consultation, in addition to talking to you about all your dental experiences and concerns, we'll perform a detailed examination of your whole mouth.  This is nothing to be frightened of, just a very thorough look around, so we can get an accurate picture of your oral health.

Some of the specific things we look for or check are:-

• Assess your overall health
• Evaluate your risk of tooth decay
• Examine for root caries
• Examine for gum disease (Periodontal disease)
• Examine your jaw and bite for problems
• Take radiographs (X-rays) or if needed carry out other diagnostic procedures
• Assess your need for restoration or tooth replacement, such as direct restorations (fillings, root canal) or indirect restorations (crowns, veneers, inlays) and solutions for missing teeth (dentures, bridges, or implants)
• Oral (mouth) cancer check
• Evaluate your fluoride exposure (through hygiene products and diet)
