At your check-up, your teeth and mouth will be checked for early signs of decay, gum disease, cracked teeth and oral cancer. Diseases including cancer, anaemia and diabetes can be identified by the dentist in a regular examination (Oral Health Tracker, 2018).

The dentist may require x-rays to detect problems that can not be seen during a routine visual examination. We only use digital x-rays which significantly reduces the amount of radiation exposure compared with conventional x-rays.

When your teeth are professionally cleaned, plaque and calculus are removed. If left on the teeth, plaque and calculus can cause tooth decay and gum disease.

A protective fluoride coating can also be applied to help your teeth fight decay.
