What to expect from a dental check-up at our dentist in Birmingham

Many of our patients, especially those who are nervous, may feel more comfortable knowing what to expect from their dental check-up, and we are happy to accommodate them. Our dental team believe that prevention is always better than cure, which is why we aim to prevent the onset of more serious oral diseases and infections, such as gum disease, through the use of preventive dental work. Many patients may believe that they partake in an adequate dental hygiene routine, such as brushing and flossing regularly, however unfortunately symptoms can still occur.

The treatment process

During a dental check-up patients can expect to receive a thorough dental examination of the teeth, lips, and gums, to check for any decay, or dental abrasions. After our dentist in Birmingham has an idea of the health of your mouth, we may ask you questions concerning your lifestyle choices, such as your diet, and smoking and drinking habits.

Sharing our knowledge

In addition to our standard dental treatments, we also aim to give dental advice. Our advice may include ways to improve your dental hygiene, such as using interdental brushes or the right mouthwash to use.

What should I look out for?

Many patients that visit our dentist in Birmingham may not be aware that they are displaying negative dental symptoms, which is why we always aim to promote dental education! Some negative symptoms can consist of bad breath, bleeding gums, sensitivity, and even toothache and sores.

Why is a dental check-up important?

Many of our patients may overlook their biannual check-ups, normally advised by our dental healthcare professionals to be every six months, due to financial concerns, anxiety, inconvenience, or simply a hectic work or social schedule. Despite many patients missing their scheduled appointment at our dentist in Birmingham we believe a check-up is vital in preventing oral concerns, which can therefore save money on dental bills in the long run.

How much can I expect to pay for my dental check-up?

The cost of a dental check-up will vary depending on the treatments delivered, like a scale and polish, and the individual’s dental situation.
