At Ashgrove West Dental we take an honest and conservative approach to treatment – ALWAYS.
During a check-up and clean our dentists will ask about your dental concerns and screen for any dental issues. If detected early enough, a dentist can provide preventative, non-invasive advice to help avoid future problems and dental work. The earlier issues are picked up and treated, the better the long-term result.
Our thorough examinations screen for:
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ or Jaw joint) and Muscle related issues
- Oral Soft Tissue Exam for Mucosal Lesions, Tumours and Cancer
- Sleep Apnoea and Airway issues
- Gum and Periodontal health
- Bite and Occlusion Analysis (static and dynamic)
- Saliva Quantity and Quality
- Oral Hygiene (plaque and tartar)
- Teeth Charting (decay, tooth wear, chipped or broken teeth/fillings, missing teeth, wisdom teeth etc)
Our dentists will usually provide a scale and clean to remove plaque and tartar at the same time of the examination. In most cases, it allows us to view the teeth and gums better and is a more efficient use of time.
We finish our check and clean by applying a strong remineralizing agent to the teeth to help prevent cavities and reverse early signs of tooth decay – you will know this as fluoride.
Our dentists believe in continuous quality care and will recommend this kind of thorough check and clean every 6 months to ensure your smile stays as healthy as it can.
