What it is
A careful look at every tooth, your gums, bite and the soft tissues of your mouth, followed by a professional scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar that brushing cannot reach.
Who it's for
Everyone. We recommend a visit every six months, or more often if you have gum problems or are prone to decay.
What to expect
- 1
We ask about any concerns and check your medical history.
- 2
A full examination of teeth, gums and mouth, with X-rays only if needed.
- 3
Scaling to remove hardened tartar, then a gentle polish.
- 4
We explain anything we found and agree what, if anything, comes next.
Aftercare
Teeth may feel a little sensitive for a day. Keep brushing twice a day and clean between your teeth.
