DENTAL CHECK-UP & X-RAYS
Your overall health and wellness begin with your mouth, so when was the last time you had a dental check-up?
Booking a routine check-up and x-rays allow for your dentist to provide a thorough examination of your overall oral health. This helps us keep an eye on your oral condition and even prevent further dental complications.
WHAT IS A DENTAL CHECK-UPS AND X-RAYS?
A dental check-up and x-rays are an essential part of caring for your overall dental health. Even if you don’t have a toothache, pain or any concerns, we firmly believe prevention is better than cure. Your dentist at Confident Smile will examine your entire mouth, exploring the state of your teeth and soft tissues, talking you through the process step by step. Having a regular dental check-up should be on the top of your wellness checklist at least every six months or as advised by your dentist.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
A routine dental examination and x-rays have two parts to them:
- A full dental check-up of your teeth, gums and overall mouth condition
- Taking standard dental x-ray views of your teeth and jaws
