Read Our ReviewsWhat is a 12 Point Check Up?
Update Personal & Medical History.
This enables us to contact you and means that we can be sure that any of our treatments is not compromised by any condition you may have or medication you may be taking. Your updated medical history is essential because this can influence any proposed treatment plan.
Concerns you may have about your dental health since your last visit.
During an appointment, we can discuss any concerns you may have about your dental health since your last visit.
Examine Your Jaw
We'll examine your jaw joint and determine if it is working correctly. If not, this can lead to headaches and migraines.
Outside the Mouth
We will look for swollen glands and asymmetry, which could signify the presence of infection or other diseases.
Inside the Mouth
We will look for lumps, bumps and ulcers, plus any abnormal tissue to complete our oral cancer check.
Your Teeth
We will look for early signs of decay, cracks and movement in your teeth. We will always advise you on what can be done to help strengthen them.
Your Fillings
If a filling starts to deteriorate it can be more economical and conservative to replace/repair it immediately.
Your Gums
Gum disease is the most common human disease. It can cause tooth loss in more cases than dental decay, particularly in older age groups. The progression of gum disease can be very gradual over long periods of time, causing pain initially. Thus, careful monitoring of the gum condition is very important in noticing the early stages when treatment is more straightforward.
X-Rays
We review x-rays and, depending on our visible examination, any symptoms you may have and the duration of time since the last x-rays, decide whether we need to take further views.
Discuss Our Findings
We discuss our findings and offer advice about these and any other concerns you may have.
Arrangements
If you require further treatment to be carried out, we arrange this and prepare an estimated cost for your treatment plan.
Next Dental Examination
Finally, we discuss with you and arrange when we would like to carry out our next dental examination. The interval may vary between patients, but it is usually between 3 months and 18 months.
