Check-ups vs hygiene appointments
They work hand in hand but serve different purposes. Most patients benefit from both, and we'll always recommend the right combination for you.
Dental check-up
A full assessment of your oral health by the dentist, designed to spot problems early and plan any treatment you might need.
- Examination of teeth, gums and soft tissues
- Oral cancer screening
- Digital X-rays when clinically needed
- Personalised care plan and next steps
Hygiene appointment
A dedicated clean by the hygienist, focused on removing plaque, tartar and staining that brushing alone can't reach.
- Professional scale and polish
- Removal of tartar and surface staining
- Gum health assessment and pocket measurements
- Tailored brushing and flossing guidance
We recommend both, usually every six months
A check-up lets us monitor your oral health, while a hygiene visit keeps your teeth and gums in the best shape between appointments.
Why regular check-ups matter
Prevention is always better than treatment. Routine check-ups help us catch issues early, when they're simpler and less costly to resolve.
What happens during your check-up
A thorough, unhurried appointment designed to give you a clear picture of your oral health and a plan to keep it that way.
We review your medical history, any concerns you have, and anything that's changed since your last visit so we know exactly what to look for.
The dentist carefully examines every tooth, your gums, bite, jaw and soft tissues, checking for decay, wear, gum disease and anything unusual.
When clinically needed, we take low-radiation digital X-rays to see what's happening beneath the surface, between teeth and around roots.
We check the tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth and throat for any early signs. It's quick, painless, and one of the most important parts of every visit.
We talk you through our findings, explain any treatment options clearly, and build a personalised care plan around your priorities and budget.
