It just needs to be said: prevention is always better than a cure!

At Sky Dental Team we take your oral health very seriously. Whilst many people only visit the dentist when they are in pain or have acute dental problems, this is always the most discomforting and expensive. To this end, regular dental checkups are the best thing you can do for your oral health.

We have a full range of dental services available, but always try and look at nipping issues in the bud before they get any worse. Our general dental clean and check up is a fantastic way to help you maintain good oral health.

If you have any concerns about your oral health, be sure to discuss them with your dentist or oral health therapist during your appointment.

During a dental checkup, your dentist or oral health therapist will:

  • Perform a comprehensive dental check up, X-rays, OPG (panoramic xray of the lower face), teeth cleaning, fluoride treatment, and oral hygiene instructions
  • Examine your teeth and gums/periodontal condition
  • Check your oral hygiene for signs of tooth decay or gum disease
  • Take x-rays to check for problems with your teeth or jawbone
  • Assess your risks of developing tooth decay or gum disease
  • Check the condition of your existing teeth and fillings
  • Examine your mouth for early signs of oral cancer precursor
  • Perform professional dental cleaning and polishing
  • Advise the best ways to do your own oral hygiene
  • Recommend products and tools to aid in your home oral hygiene and prevent dental disease

Gum disease and dental health

Why treat gum disease or tooth decay when we can prevent it in the first place? Many people leave a dental check up and clean to the last minute when perhaps a surgical or invasive procedure could have been avoided with regular dental check ups.

Gum disease is caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If plaque is not removed, it can harden and turn into tartar (calculus). Tartar can only be removed with professional cleaning, if not removed, it can lead to gum inflammation (gingivitis) and ultimately progress into gum disease.

Keep your natural teeth much longer through regular professional cleaning. Dental cleaning is one of the best ways to prevent gum disease / periodontal disease and can help diagnosis early signs of other dental disease/issues.
