Dental Check Up

It’s easy to assume your dental health is up to scratch even if that’s not the case. Often dental problems may not present themselves fully until they’ve developed into much larger issues. The initial signs can only be identified by dental professionals and so check-ups are necessary. Common dental problems that can develop if overlooked include:

• · Bad breath
• · Tooth decay
• · Gum disease
• · Sores
• · Tooth erosion
• · Tooth sensitivity
• · Toothache

The Solution

Traditionally, check-ups include the examination of your teeth, gums and general mouth, followed by questions about your health and any problems you may have experienced. Once issues have been identified and addressed, your dentist may give you advice on your diet, smoking and alcohol use as well as your teeth cleaning habits in a bid to help prevent future issues.
