Common questions
Questions about preventive dentistry.
Clear information is part of good care. These answers are a starting point for your conversation.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
The most appropriate interval depends on your oral health, previous dental disease and individual risk factors. Your clinician will recommend a review schedule after assessment.
Is professional cleaning included?
A professional clean may be completed when clinically appropriate for the appointment booked. If gum disease or more involved care is identified, we explain the recommended treatment and any additional visits first.
Will I need X-rays at every visit?
No. X-rays are recommended only when clinically appropriate, based on symptoms, examination findings, dental history and individual risk.
Are fluoride and fissure seals suitable for adults?
They may be helpful for selected adults as well as children. Suitability depends on decay risk, tooth anatomy and the condition of the teeth being considered.
