What to Expect at Your Dental Check-Up
Regular dental visits are not only about looking for cavities. They are an opportunity to assess your teeth, gums and overall oral health and identify changes before they become more difficult to manage.
At Tooth Shine Dental, we believe your dental appointment should feel informative rather than rushed.
We Start by Listening
Before examining your mouth, we want to understand you.
Tell us about any tooth sensitivity, bleeding gums, pain, concerns about your smile or previous dental experiences. We will also review relevant medical and dental history.
Checking Your Teeth
We carefully examine your teeth for signs of decay, cracks, worn restorations and other changes.
Existing fillings, crowns and other dental work can also be reviewed to make sure they remain healthy and functional.
Checking Your Gums
Healthy gums are an important part of keeping your natural teeth.
We assess your gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding, recession and periodontal disease. Periodontal measurements may be recommended depending on your individual needs.
Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays are not necessarily required at every visit.
When clinically appropriate, they can provide information about areas that cannot be seen directly during an examination, such as between teeth or around the roots and supporting bone.
Professional Cleaning
Depending on your oral health, your visit may also include professional removal of plaque, biofilm, calculus and surface stains.
We can show you areas that are difficult to clean and provide personalised advice to improve your home-care routine.
A Plan That Makes Sense to You
If treatment is recommended, we explain what we have found and discuss your options.
Our goal is for you to understand your oral health and feel comfortable making decisions about your care.
