Dental Check-ups

Dental Check-Up In Crowborough, Sussex

If you choose to go for a routine dental check-up, we provide you with a thorough examination of the mouth, gums and the teeth. By identifying potential problems that are minor early on, you can prevent them from becoming big.

At Crowborough Gentle Dental Practice, we recommend our patients schedule a regular dental check-up with their dentist every 6 months. You can significantly improve the health of your mouth and teeth when you get regular dental check-ups apart from taking good care of your teeth at home between check-ups.

Dentists use both high-end technology and their knowledge and skills to conduct a routine examination in a pain-free and comfortable environment.

What Are Dental Check-Ups?

A dental exam is an appointment where your dentist thoroughly checks your teeth, gums, jaw joints and the soft tissues of your mouth (tongue, lips, cheeks, roof of the mouth). We may also recommend dental x-rays be taken during this appointment, so that areas that are not visible on inspection can be seen on the x-ray image. A dental exam focuses on diagnosing any dental problems and recommending appropriate solutions.

Dental Check-Up and Scale and Clean Appointment

Dental Check-up appointments are commonly scheduled to allow time to provide a dental cleaning, which involves the removal of tarter and plaque from your teeth and gum line, a professional polishing of your teeth to remove stains from food and beverages, and the application of fluoride to make your tooth enamel more resistant to decay.

Your dentist in Crowborough will often spend time reviewing your home care routine and will provide recommendations about brushing and flossing if necessary.

Dental Check-Ups at Crowborough Gentle Dental Practice

Lasting Impressions Dental provides comprehensive dental check-ups in Crowborough, Sussex. The check-ups can often take up to 30 minutes. That’s because we check many different things that can affect your dental health.

We don’t just look at your teeth and fillings: we check your gums for signs of gum disease, we check your jaw joints for smooth movement, and inspect how your teeth are positioned, especially when you bite. When we examine your teeth, we are looking for decay, areas of weakness, cracks and discolouration. We check your fillings and crowns for areas of weakness, cracks and underlying decay.

Dental X-Rays in Dental Check-ups

Dental x-rays are an important part of a dental examination, because x-rays help your dentist to see details of areas that are otherwise not visible. Areas that are difficult to see include:

Between the teeth, especially between molars;
Under fillings and crowns
Under the gum (your dentist in Crowborough will want to know about the health of your jaw bone, and may need to know information about the roots of your teeth as well).

When Is the Next Dental Check-Up?

After you complete the check-up, your dentist is going to tell you when you should revisit the clinic. Usually, they recommend routine check-ups every 6 months. A dentist may, however, depending on your oral health needs, might ask you to come before the due date. We at Crowborough Gentle Dental Practice, we will remind you about your next appointment via text message or a phone call as you near the scheduled date.

Just had my first appointment there and cannot praise the lovely Hazel Del Rosa enough. Gentle, caring and incredibly thorough at explaining issues. If I hadn’t already been aware her explanation wouldn’t have scared me in the slightest, I felt reassured regarding the care offered.

Had a great experience at CGD. I have had some brutal experiences in the past with other dentists and was apprehensive. I needed an extraction and it was handled brilliantly. No pain at all and done quickly and with a great deal of care and sensitivity. I highly recommend this practise if you have any fear of visiting the dentist. Excellent!

I visited Shreyas Mhatre for an implant assessment which first required treatment for an underlying infection. Throughout the whole process I really appreciated his calm and reassuring manner along with a clear, honest expectation for success. Combined with his attention to detail and precision, I felt confident with his work and am very happy with the final results. Highly recommended for implant and root canal work.
