Following this, we'll proceed with cleaning your teeth and the surrounding gum area to ensure your mouth is in the best possible condition for any further treatment that may be required.
Examination and Assessment
During the examination, dentists evaluate teeth, gums, and overall oral health. A dental examination typically includes a visual inspection of the teeth and gums, teeth cleaning, oral cancer screening, evaluation of gum health, x-rays (in some cases), and an assessment of tooth positioning and jaw clenching.
A thorough examination allows dentists to detect early signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental issues that may require further intervention.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Keeping your pearly whites in top-notch condition requires professional teeth cleaning. This not only gives your teeth a nice shine but also keeps tooth decay and gum disease at bay by getting rid of that plaque and tartar. Regular professional cleanings can help you dodge a whole bunch of oral health problems like tooth and root decay, gum disease, bad breath, and even tooth loss. Plus, it can also help in reducing the risk of other health conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
During your dental check-up, our friendly dentists also have a remineralisation cream with and without fluoride to give your teeth an extra layer of protection against cavities and to strengthen your teeth. So, why wait? Book your dental check-up today and let us help you keep that beautiful smile of yours shining bright!
Diagnostic X-Rays
Here at Watagan Dental, we use Diagnostic X-rays as a safe way to keep an eye on your oral health. It helps us spot any potential dental issues that might be hiding where we can't see them. There are two main types of X-rays we use: bitewing and panoramic. Bitewing X-rays help us catch those cavities that might be forming between your teeth, while panoramic X-rays give us a full picture of your mouth, including your teeth, jaw, and sinuses.
So, what do these X-rays do for you?
- They help us find cavities that might be starting to form
- They let us spot abscesses before they become a problem
- They help us see if any teeth are impacted
- They allow us to identify other dental issues that we might not catch during a physical exam
- They let us see how your orthodontic treatment is progressing
We understand that the idea of X-rays can be a bit daunting, but we want to reassure you that the amount of radiation used is extremely small. Plus, our team at Watagan Dental is fully certified and trained to carry out these procedures.

We want to make sure you feel confident and comfortable with your personalized dental care strategy.
Frequency of Dental Visits
Individual oral health needs determine the recommended frequency of dental visits. Most dentists suggest a check-up and cleaning every six months, as it enables them to detect potential issues in their early stages when they are more amenable to treatment. Factors such as oral health, dental hygiene, and general health are considered when determining the recommended frequency of dental check-ups.
However, individuals with existing dental issues or periodontitis may be required to receive more frequent monitoring, potentially as often as every 3 months. To optimize oral health between dental visits, it is recommended to brush and floss twice daily, abstain from sugary and acidic foods, and attend regular dental appointments.
