Why you need regular dental check-up and cleans

Even with the best dental hygiene routine, there are areas within the mouth that are almost impossible to reach with a toothbrush or floss alone.

Over time, plaque can mineralise into hardened tartar in these hidden spots, which can only be safely removed professionally by a qualified dentist. If left unchecked, this plaque and tartar build-up can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

Regular visits to the dentist are important so that any dental issues you may have can be identified and treated, and plaque and tartar build-up can be removed from the mouth.

By intervening early, our Brisbane dentists can use conservative treatments to restore and protect your natural teeth, avoiding the need for more complex and invasive procedures in the future, such as root canal therapy or extractions.

What does a dental check-up and clean involve?

At le tooth, our friendly Ascot dentists and West End dentists begin with a comprehensive assessment of your oral health and needs.

With the help of diagnostic X-rays, we can identify dental issues that require treatment such as tooth decay, gum disease, grinding and impacted wisdom teeth.

Our dentists will then professionally clean your teeth and gums, which includes:

  • An ultrasonic scale and clean procedure to gently remove plaque and tartar build-up
  • A polishing treatment to give your teeth a smoother surface that is harder for bacteria and plaque to adhere
  • A high-concentration fluoride application to strengthen your teeth's enamel and protect them from cavities

What if you have other concerns with your smile?

Your regular dental visits are a perfect opportunity for you to discuss with our experienced dentists any other concerns you have regarding the function or aesthetics of your smile.

If you have noticed a change in your bite or require protection during sports, our dentists can provide tailored solutions.

We are equally passionate about helping you achieve your ideal smile. We encourage you to explore our cosmetic services which include teeth whitening, straightening and dental implants.
