Dental Check up, Scale & Clean

Regular 6 monthly check up, scale and cleans are highly recommended for children and adults of ALL ages. As hard plaque builds up over our teeth and gums, it cannot be removed by simple at home brushing and flossing.

Why it is important to have a regular dental check up, scale and clean

A professional scale and clean is necessary to remove this hard plaque and help to remove minor staining. Once plaque has been removed it is then more visible for the dentist to detect any early stages of decay, gum disease, oral cancer or any other problems that may arise.

Dental x-rays are also highly recommended every 2 years. This is to check for any infection or decay that may be happening between the teeth or under the gums.
