Checks and Cleans
As the old saying goes “Prevention is better than cure!” At Dentistry First we believe that routine checkups are crucial in preserving your natural teeth for as long as possible and ensuring that you look and feel amazing throughout life.

-
Xrays – recommended routinely every 2 years
-

Most dental problems rarely have significant symptoms at the early stages. Unfortunately, waiting to see a dentist when an issue is felt often means a more invasive and costly treatment is needed.
