Dental Check-ups

Dental Check-ups Kellyville Ridge

Your Kellyville Ridge dentist will suggest when you should have your next check-up based on how good your oral health condition is.

The duration of check-ups can vary from 3 months to 2 years, depending on the health of your teeth and gums, and your risk of future problems.

Why do I need to visit my dentist for a dental check-up?

A dental check-up allows your Kellyville Ridge dentist to see if you have any dental problems and helps keep your oral health.

Ignoring dental problems could make them more challenging to treat in the future, so it’s best to treat problems early, or, if possible, prevent them altogether.

What happens during your dental visit at Dental Cube Kellyville Ridge?

There are two parts of a regular dental visit – check-up, or examination and the cleaning, or oral prophylaxis.

At the dental check-up, your Kellyville Ridge dentist will check for cavities. X-ray images might be taken to spot cavities between your teeth. The exam will also include an inspection for plaque and tartar on your teeth.

If it is not removed, it can become tartar. You can’t remove tartar with simple brushing and flossing. If plaque and tartar build-up on your teeth, they can cause oral diseases.

Next, your gums will be examined using a special tool to measure the depth of the spaces between your teeth and gums. Healthy gums have shallow spaces. When one has gum disease, the spaces may become deeper.

Your tongue, throat, face, head, and neck will also be examined. This is to look for any symptoms of trouble like swelling, redness, or possible signs of cancer.

Your teeth will also be cleaned during your visit. Brushing and flossing help remove the plaque from your teeth, but you can’t remove tartar at home. During the cleaning, your Kellyville Ridge dentist will use special tools to remove the tartar. This is called scaling.

When your teeth are done with scaling, they are polished. In most cases, a gritty paste is used. The gritty paste helps to remove any stains from the surfaces of your teeth.

The final step is flossing. Your Kellyville Ridge dentist will use floss to make sure the areas between your teeth are clean.

How often should I visit my dentist for a check-up?

After your check-up, your Kellyville Ridge dentist will recommend a date for your next visit.

The lower your risk of dental issues, the longer you can wait before your next dental check-up. People with good oral health are probably required to visit only once every year, but those with more problems will need to visit the dentist more often.

What should you do between each dental visit?

Take care of your teeth and gums between regular dental visits. Plaque always forms on your teeth, but you can get rid of it by brushing and flossing properly.

Here are some tips for proper oral care at home:

  • Brush teeth at least twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
  • Floss at least once daily.
  • Rinse with mouthwash to help control bacteria. This will also help keep your breath fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if you don't treat tooth decay?
If left untreated, it’s possible for a cavity to reach your nerve, which causes serious pain. Once a cavity spreads to the root, it will need a much larger procedure, such as a root canal therapy or a tooth extraction. Both of those procedures are much more involved than your everyday cavity filling.
