Check and Cleans in Dubbo
A regular dental checkup is about more than just keeping your pearly whites clean—it’s an essential part of protecting your oral and overall health. We believe a preventative (vs reactive) approach is always best. That’s because routine exams at Smile on Dubbo & Narromine help us spot early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer before they turn into bigger, costlier problems.
What Happens at a Dental Checkup?
Each checkup includes a comprehensive look at your teeth, gums, and mouth. Your appointment may involve:
- A gentle examination of each tooth to look for any signs of damage or decay
- An assessment of your gum health and early indicators of periodontal disease
- A soft tissue screening to check for any unusual changes inside your mouth
- Dental X-rays, if needed, to spot issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye
We also review any previous restorations and track changes over time, so you’ll always know where your oral health stands.
Why Professional Cleans Matter
Even if you brush and floss daily, professional cleaning reaches places your toothbrush can’t. During your visit, our team removes hardened plaque (tartar), surface stains, and buildup that can contribute to gum disease, tooth loss, and bad breath.
Your cleaning also gives us a chance to polish your teeth, leaving them feeling fresh, smooth, and squeaky clean. Plus, we’ll tailor advice to help you keep that feeling going at home.
How Often Should You Visit?
Most people benefit from visiting the dentist every six months. Why this frequency? It gives us a reliable window to catch any changes early and provide preventative support before more complex (and often more expensive) care is needed.
Some people may need more frequent visits. If you have gum disease, are pregnant, smoke, or live with health conditions like diabetes or dry mouth, we may recommend a shorter interval between checkups. We’ll always discuss what works best for your unique needs.
