Dental Check Up

Dental Visiting

Regular dental check-ups are a preventative measure that contributes to better oral health outcomes for patient. Regular check-ups allow dental professionals to provide on-going preventative advice; such as dietary advice, smoking cessation, education and review of any signs and symptoms of oral disease.

Regular check-ups should begin in early childhood, within 6 months of the first tooth erupting or by the child’s first birthday. Early intervention and prevention will greatly reduce a child’s risk of future oral disease.
