Your checkup will begin with your dentist performing a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. If any potential tooth damage is discovered, we may also conduct x-rays at this time. Once your examination is complete, the next stage of your dental checkup and clean is a gentle teeth scaling procedure. This is an important step in your checkup as it removes debris, plaque deposits and tartar buildup, reducing the potential for cavities to develop. Any existing fillings and dental fixtures will also be checked and cleaned during your dental checkup.
After your dental checkup and clean, Phung Tran Dental Clinic will provide you with a wealth of information and general oral hygiene tips to use at home. We will help you develop and maintain an effective personal oral hygiene routine to minimise the potential of dental issues developing in between your regular dental checkups.
