In life, we have to look after many things: our physical health, our possessions, and our money. Yet, we often neglect our teeth and gums. Most of the pain, stress, and inconvenience caused by a tooth problem can be avoided through regular dental check-ups.
When you attend a dental check-up here in Reading, our non-judgemental team will ensure you’re given a thorough but gentle examination that includes checking your teeth, gums, lips, tongue and mouth, as well as your neck and head for any signs of problems. We’ll also answer your questions while giving you advice on how best to maintain your smile. Oh, and if you need treatment, we’ll be happy to implement a personalised treatment plan that gets you back on track.
The first thing you can expect when you visit us for a dental check-up in Reading is a warm and friendly welcome. Take a seat in our relaxing reception area and help yourself to a complimentary drink while you wait. When our dentist is ready, you’ll be called through to our treatment room.
If it’s your first visit, we’ll ask you a few questions about your current dental health and discuss any problems you may have.
Next, we’ll give you a thorough but gentle physical examination. If you haven’t visited the dentist in a while, or you have sensitive teeth, we might recommend a light anaesthetic to make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
We’ll also take some X-rays using the latest low-level imaging technology.
Then, we’ll check your head and neck for any lumps or lesions or any other signs of oral cancer.
Next, we’ll thoroughly clean your teeth using the latest Airflow® technology. This equipment gently removes unwanted tartar build-up without the need for scraping. By the time we’ve finished, your mouth will feel cleaner and healthier.
Finally, we’ll discuss any findings and future treatments with you.
The whole process takes somewhere between thirty minutes to one hour to complete, and patients can leave feeling satisfied that someone else is also looking out for their oral health.
Patients who fail to undergo regular dental check-ups in Reading often see them as an unnecessary expense. This is understandable, given that the current cost of living is high.
Our mission here at Reading Dental Spa is to give everyone access to high-quality dental care at a price they can afford. That’s why we’ve partnered with Denplan. For a small monthly fee, our preventative care plans mean that patients get access to regular check-ups, X-rays and hygiene visits, allowing them to stay on top of their oral health.
Don’t forget to ask us about how we can help you manage your oral care with Denplan.
Yes. Regular check-ups can prevent severe dental problems like advanced periodontal (gum) disease. Dental check-ups not only help maintain good oral health but because poor dental health can affect our overall health, regular dental examinations may be a precursor to the prevention of other more significant problems.
We advise that most patients visit the dentist for a dental check-up every six months. In some cases, we may recommend more frequent visits, but normally, twice a year is sufficient.
When check-ups are skipped or missed, people are more likely to have cavities. This doesn’t mean that patients won’t develop cavities with frequent dental visits, but it does mean that when cavities are spotted early, they can be dealt with quickly and cost-effectively.
In most cases, yes, Most dental examinations incorporate a physical examination of the mouth, along with cleaning. The exam and X-rays are normally done first; then, you will normally undergo a thorough clean, leaving your teeth fresh and healthy.
