Experience The Duncraig Dental Care Difference

In most cases, it is highly recommended to have routine dental check-ups every 6 to 12 months, or once to twice a year. Regular appointments are essential not only for keeping the teeth healthy but also for maintaining gum health and the entire mouth. It allows for detecting early signs of oral health issues, such as minor tooth decay or gum disease, making the necessary treatment as minimally invasive as possible before it worsens and requires complex dental treatments.

Dental professionals advise people to visit a dental practice to identify potential risks for certain dental conditions and allow them to provide preventative care to keep their smiles healthy and looking good.

If you are a new patient, one of our support staff may ask you to fill out a form that records your health history. Expect to have a discussion with the dentist about your dental needs and general questions about your oral health. The process of your appointment may vary depending on the purpose of your visit. But if you are scheduled for a routine dental appointment, the next step is a check-up, where your dentist checks the outside of your mouth, lips, or cheeks to see if there is unusual swelling. Then they will look inside your mouth, carry out an oral cancer screening, and look for any signs of tooth decay or gum disease.

You may also undergo a professional dental cleaning if it’s your first visit to the dentist after 6 or 12 months. This is highly recommended to reduce plaque and tartar and keep your teeth healthy. To get more specific information about what to expect, we encourage you to contact Duncraig Dental Care and have our staff explain the process.
