Oral Health Check

Why Do Regular Dental Check-ups Matter?

Regular dental check-ups are a key part of maintaining a healthy smile and preventing problems before they arise. At Alliance Dentistry, we believe prevention is always better than cure.

 

During your routine appointments, we will:

  • Provide personalised advice on how best to care for your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.

  • Identify potential issues early—before they become more complex or require invasive treatment.

  • Recommend care from other members of our team, such as our Dental Hygienist, when appropriate.

  • Discuss preventive and restorative treatment options tailored to your individual needs.

​

Your check-up is also a chance to ask questions, discuss any concerns, and make sure you’re confident in your ongoing dental care plan.

What We Check During Your Dental Examination

At every routine check-up, we carry out a thorough examination to assess your overall oral health.

 

This includes:

  • Checking your teeth for signs of decay, cracks, wear or other damage

  • Assessing your gums for signs of gum disease, recession or inflammation

  • Screening for early signs of oral cancer, including the cheeks, lips, tongue and soft tissues

  • Examining your bite (occlusion) and jaw for any functional issues or symptoms of clenching or grinding

  • Reviewing any existing dental work to ensure it’s still functioning well

  • Taking X-rays if needed to look for issues beneath the surface, such as hidden decay or bone loss

  • ​

This comprehensive approach helps us detect problems early and tailor your care to keep your smile healthy for the long term.
