We want you to have the best dental health possible. Most of our patients attend every six months for an Oral Health Assessment or Dental Check.

An Oral Health Assessment is so much more than checking your teeth. Initially we will listen and find out your dental problems and concerns, what you may like to change too. We will also always update your medical history as it is vital we understand any medications or treatments you may be receiving.

During your check we will inspect:

• externally for any swellings/lumps
• check your jaw joint
• inspect your gums and the supporting structures
• see how the jaws relate to each other
• carry out a full mouth cancer screen
• check your teeth for decay, wear and tear
• take x-rays if required

As you can see, an oral health assessment is so much more than checking your teeth!
