Dental Check-Up

WHAT IS INVOLVED?

The Process

Consultation

First Visit
Our dental specialists/ dentists will find out the details of your medical and dental history. He or she will assess the health of your teeth and gums by:

• Taking X-rays
• Examining the gums
• Looking for signs of gum disease
• Checking for loose teeth
• Looking at the tissues inside your mouth
• Examining your tongue
• Checking your bite
• Looking for visual evidence of tooth decay
• Checking for broken teeth
• Checking for damaged fillings
• Looking for changes in the gums covering teeth
• Checking the contact between your teeth

Treatment
Consultation and treatment (if necessary) should be completed within an half an hour. Sometimes, where complicated treatment may be required, the process may take a longer time. If your schedule does not allow, our dental specialist/ dentist will schedule for you to make a repeat visit another day for further treatment.

Follow Up Care
Besides the 6-monthly dental check-up, you should have a good home care regime to maintain healthy teeth and gums in-between dental visits. Brush and floss your teeth twice a day or after each meal to remove plaque build-up. Include foods that are good for your teeth like fruits and vegetables, whole grains and dairy products like cheese and milk into your diet.
