Dental Check Ups

Our friendly team at tooth+ will guide you through a comprehensive examination of your mouth, teeth and gums. They will look for early signs of gum and dental disease, as well as screening you for mouth cancer.

Having regular check ups can help prevent future tooth loss and keeps you mouth in tip top condition.

Tooth Checks

Included in the check up is an examination of the teeth, looking for any signs of decay or caries. This could look like a black or grey mark on the tooth. We also check existing fillings and crowns for signs of leakage or cracking.

Our team look for signs of tooth wear, such as grinding or damage from overzealous brushing, and we also look for microfractures in the teeth, all of which can be treated if caught early, but can cause long term damage if ignored.

Gum Checks

We also look for any signs of damage to the teeth. This could be inflammation from gingivitis or the more serious periodontal disease.

If left unchecked both of these conditions can lead to permanent changes in the gums, and tooth loss. It is vital the dentist and hygienist look out for early warning signs so action can be taken to reduce the inflammation

Radiographs

We regularly take x-rays of your teeth to look at the parts of the tooth not visible on the surface. Using the most modern digital technology, our x-rays emit the lowest possible dosage.

Oral Cancer Screening

We check the mouth looking for signs that may indicate general systemic disease, such as infections, ulceration and blistering. Fortunately these things are unusual but we screen all our patients at every check up. Mouth cancer is on the increase and we check all the tissues in your mouth, to ensure there are no visible signs of cancer.

Catching oral cancer early is key to a good prognosis.
