Dental Check-Up Campbelltown
Catching problems early is the key to a healthy smile.
A routine dental check-up is a thorough examination by a dental professional to check for early signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
Your dentist first performs a visual examination of your teeth, gums, and tissues. However, visual checks can't always reveal hidden problems, like small interdental cavities or early bone loss. This makes dental X-rays essential for a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis.
It's generally recommended that you visit a highly rated practice, for a check-up every six months. That said, individuals who have a higher risk of dental problems, for example, those with a history of gum disease or conditions like diabetes, may need more frequent visits to maintain their best oral health
