Hygiene & Check-Ups
General dentistry focuses on treatments that are necessary for long-term dental health. A lot of people visit a dentist when they’re in pain. Or perhaps when they are looking for a radical change, often aesthetic. Before you can even opt for a radical change, it is essential that your dental health is in good condition. Regular check-ups are one of the best forms of preventative dental care. Leaving problems untreated can lead to complications in the future. It is a much better idea to start now and deal with any problems early.
At Gentle Dentistry, we provide each patient with a treatment plan based on the results of your routine exam. Your personal treatment plan is a road map to your dental health. It lists any details of treatments required and the prices involved.
What to Expect
Your dental checkup includes:
- A visual exam of your mouth, face, jaw and neck
- Digital diagnostics, as determined by your Dentist
- A health check of your gums
- Professional cleaning of your teeth
- Comprehensive data capture in an electronic dental record
