It is important for everyone to get a dental health check no matter what their age in order to ensure that their dental health is in good shape and doesn’t deteriorate into something more serious.

Importance of check-ups

Dublin18 Dental Care near Deansgrange work especially hard to make sure all patients are made to feel comfortable, and at ease during their dental health checks. This is because the dental health checks are extremely important and it is also important that the patient feels at ease.

Dental health check

Each patient will experience Dublin18’s 13 point dental health check that will ensure that the health and appearance of the patient’s teeth and gums are in great shape. This 13 point check will look for a number of different things such as; checking for signs of tooth decay, signs of erosion and cracks, check for symptoms that may cause bad breath on the tongue, a mouth cancer screening, check the jaw joints and jaw muscles for any abnormalities, check your gums, ensure that your oral hygiene routine is on top form, check the salivary glands, assess bridges and crowns and check your bite for any problems or abnormalities.

A thorough check-up

The dentist will also assess your medical history and discuss any problems you may have been experiencing. Sometimes x-rays may be required that are used to find undetectable tooth decay, check the quality of your jaw bone, look for cysts, tumours or coming teeth and look for roots that may require attention.

As it is important for people of all ages to have these assessments done to ensure good oral hygiene, Dublin18 Dental Care also allow children to come in and view their parents appointments to help them adapt to the surroundings and ensure that they will feel at ease when they also need a 13 point dental check.
