Dental Check up and Clean - Dentist Ballarat

Keep Your Smile Healthy with Regular Dental Check-ups and Cleanings

Regular dental checkup and teeth cleaning are vital for the overall health of your mouth. During a dental check-up, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums and jaw, look for early signs of tooth decay and gum disease or any other abnormalities, and formulate a preventative plan.
Your dentist will also clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup.
You should book a regular dental check-up and clean every 6-12 months.

Benefits of Regular Dental Check-ups:

Preventive Care: Early detection of sensitive teeth, broken tooth, or cavities helps avoid extensive treatments.
Improved Oral Hygiene: Professional cleanings reduce plaque build-up and leave your teeth looking brighter.
Long-term Savings: Routine visits help reduce the need for more complex and costly procedures.
Customized Care: Our team recommends treatments tailored to your needs, including options like teeth whitening and managing grinding teeth.
