What happens at a dental health check-up?

At your first appointment, your dentist will take a full medical and dental history to gain a clear understanding of your individual needs. X-rays may be taken if clinically necessary, as these can help assess the health of your teeth and jaw and identify any issues that may not be visible during a visual examination.

At every dental health check-up, your dentist will:

  • Examine your mouth, teeth and gums
  • Test for signs of gum disease
  • Carry out mouth cancer screening
  • Take x-rays if needed
  • Offer dental health advice and guidance
  • Refer you to a dental hygienist if appropriate

If any concerns are identified, your dentist will discuss these with you and provide tailored advice or a treatment plan where required.

By attending routine dental health check-ups, you can help:

  • Maintain good dental health
  • Reduce the risk of gum disease and mouth cancer
  • Prevent bad breath (halitosis)
  • Protect and retain your natural teeth

How often should I have a dental health check-up?

How often you need a dental health check-up will depend on your individual needs. Some patients may only require a check-up once a year, while others – particularly those undergoing treatment – may benefit from more frequent visits. Your dentist will discuss the most suitable frequency with you and work with you to arrange appointments at times that suit your schedule. Contact Capel Dental Care on 01267 237363 today to book your next dental health check-up.

    I have been a patient at this practice for many years and have always been impressed by the helpful staff and professionalism of all concerned. Over recent times I have been looked after by Mark Trueman who has been so welcoming and reassuring. He always finds time to ask about my health and life, making the whole experience a very positive one. His reassuring manner helps me to relax, and any necessary dental work is carried out with the minimum of fuss, whilst informing me of what is taking place as the treatment is proceeding. Thank you Mark, and all the team at Capel Dental Care Surgery.

    Fantastic atmosphere. I have a huge phobia of dentists and apart from an emergency at another dentist, I hadn't been for 40 years. The staff were very friendly and I felt at ease, the dentist explained everything in detail and I would recommend this dentist and the practice highly to anyone looking for a dentist .
