Oral Examinations in London

Ideally twice a year, you'll attend a dental appointment so your dentist can take the opportunity to identify any emerging oral health issues and develop a plan to treat them accordingly. 

During your exam, your dentist will inspect the health of your teeth, gums, bite and jaw. Exams also include dental x-rays, an oral cancer screening and other diagnostic procedures that may be required.

Oral Health Care at Home

Be sure to brush your teeth twice each day for two minutes at a time to keep your smile healthy between dental appointments. Don't forget to floss at least once a day. 

Hygiene Cleaning in London

Your dental hygienist will complete a deep cleaning of your teeth and gums to prevent and treat disease. 

Before or after your exam, they will use a scaler to remove any plaque buildup and tartar. Next, they will use a polisher topped with coarse toothpaste to remove any leftover stains or plaque, followed by a thorough flossing of your teeth and gums.

Fluoride Treatment

If your dentist finds that you or your child are at high risk of tooth decay, he or she may also recommend a fluoride treatment. Fluoride is a natural mineral that can help to prevent or reverse tooth decay by helping to rebuild the minerals in your tooth enamel.
