Periodic Dental Examinations
How can you maintain the best possible oral hygiene? Simple. Regular visits to the dental team at Shine Dentists, Gungahlin and brushing and flossing combine for a powerful tool for the early detection of decay, damage, oral cancer and gum disease.
We usually recommend bi-yearly visits, though those with weakened immunity or gum disease may need to be seen more often.
A Comprehensive Look at Your Oral Health
At your periodic examination, your dentist will check for
- Signs of breakage or decay
- Stability of existing restorations
- Any stage of gum disease
- Jaw joint issues
Will I need X-rays?
X-rays are usually taken about every 2-3 years unless a new problem warrants a look inside of your teeth. If further work is needed, you and your dentist will work together to create a treatment plan and all expenses involved, and you can then book those appointments.
If needed, we’ll refer you to a specialist for treatment.
