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.
A thorough examination is carried out to assess your general needs and concerns and to detect any early issues. An examination and clean appointment usually include the following to formulate and present a personalized care plan just for you.

​

• Dental charting

• Gum health check

• Oral cancer screening

• Xrays – recommended routinely every 2 years

• Intra-oral photos if required

• Scale and polish

• Fluoride application

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.
