It used to be the case that having regular dental check-ups meant every six months, but now check-ups may not need to be so often (or in some cases, more frequent). Smilescene realise that all individuals have differing dental needs and we suggest your next check-up depending on your clinical need.

A check-up allows us to see if you have any dental problems. Leaving problems untreated could make it more difficult for them to be treated in the future, so it's best to deal with the problem early, or, if possible, prevent them altogether.

At you check-up we will:

• Examine your teeth, gums and mouth.
• Ask about your general health and any problems you’ve had with your teeth, mouth or gums since your last visit.
• Ask about, and give you advice on, your diet, tobacco and alcohol use, and teeth-cleaning habits.
• Discuss with you a date for your next visit.

 

The advice above is about routine check-ups only. We may schedule other appointments for treatments such as fillings, teeth cleaning (scale and polish), having a tooth taken out or emergency treatment if required.

Please remember, if you have problems with your teeth between check-ups, contact us to make an earlier appointment.
