What Is It?

A routine dental checkup combines a full clinical examination with professional cleaning (scaling and polishing). Regular checkups let small problems — a developing cavity, early gum inflammation, an old filling starting to fail — get caught and treated while they're still simple to manage, rather than after they've turned into pain or infection.

Signs You May Need This

  • It has been six months or more since your last checkup
  • Bleeding, swollen, or tender gums when brushing or flossing
  • Visible plaque or tartar buildup, or persistent bad breath
  • New sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet food and drink
  • Any change in a tooth's colour, shape, or position that you've noticed

What Happens During Treatment

  1. 1Review of your medical and dental history and any concerns you'd like to raise
  2. 2Visual examination of teeth, gums, tongue, and soft tissues, including a check for signs of oral cancer
  3. 3Scaling to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, followed by polishing
  4. 4Dental X-rays if the dentist needs to check areas that aren't visible to the eye
  5. 5A summary of findings and, if needed, a recommendation for further treatment

What's Included

  • Thorough examination of teeth and gum condition
  • Removal of plaque and tartar (scaling)
  • Tooth polishing
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Dental X-ray if required
  • Dental health advice

Aftercare

  • Mild gum sensitivity after scaling is normal and usually settles within a day or two
  • Avoid very hot, cold, or acidic food and drink for a few hours if your teeth feel sensitive
  • Keep brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing once a day
  • Follow any specific advice given for areas flagged during the exam

We recommend a checkup and cleaning every 6 months to maintain good dental health and catch problems early. Your dentist may suggest a different interval based on your individual gum health and cavity risk.
