Dental Check Up and Clean Up in Brisbane

Dental Check Up in Brisbane

Good oral health care needs more than just brushing and flossing. It also involves having regular dental check-up, scale and cleans.

We recommend that most patients have a dental examination and a thorough professional clean at least every 6 months. Regular dental examinations are important to ensure that your oral health is kept at a high level and that any dental concerns are detected early. Early detection usually means a simple solution. This is the best way to keep your mouth healthy for life.

What Happens at a Check Up and Clean?

At your regular examination/professional clean appointments you can expect an oral cancer screen, digital x-rays (taken approx. every 2-3 years), sleep screen, oral hygiene instructions, lifestyle/habits discussions, periodontal (gum) health check, thorough teeth cleaning by our Oral Health Therapists as well as checking your teeth for decay, cracks, leaking fillings and wear.

Regular dental checkups in Brisbane are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. Our expert team ensures your oral health stays in good shape with precise care and personalised treatments.

Are Professional Cleanings Necessary?

While brushing and flossing daily are crucial parts of routine oral care, they should not be relied upon as your sole form of oral upkeep. The process of our check-up, scale and cleans includes removing plaque and tartar, especially on areas that can be missed out through home oral care. This is extremely beneficial as it helps prevent cavities and gum disease. It also overall leads to fresher breath and a brighter smile.

In addition, during the procedure of cleaning; the dentist may notice early signs of dental problems which they can now begin to treat.

What Happens During Teeth Cleaning in Brisbane?

During your professional dental cleaning, there are several important steps and procedures that take place to help keep your teeth and gums healthy as well as clean.

Oral Examination

Our dentist begins by examining your mouth, gums, and teeth. This visual inspection helps identify any visible issues, such as cavities, plaque buildup, or signs of gum disease. During the procedure, they may use a small mirror and a dental explorer to check for any signs of decay and to assess the overall condition of your teeth.

Periodontal Assessment

Here the dentist does some measurement of the depth of spaces between your teeth and gums (periodontal pockets). This helps evaluate the health of your gums and detect any signs of gum disease.

Scaling and Teeth Polishing

Using special dental instruments, the dentist performs scaling to remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth. This process targets areas that may be difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing.

After scaling, the teeth are polished to remove any remaining stains and plaque. A rotating rubber cup or a prophy jet polishing device is used along with a polishing paste to create a smooth and polished surface on each tooth. Polishing not only enhances the appearance of your teeth but also makes it more challenging for plaque to stick to the surfaces.

Fluoride Treatment (Optional)

Depending on your oral health needs, the dentist may apply fluoride treatment to your teeth. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and provides additional protection against cavities.

Oral Care Education

At Kedron Family Dental, we highly prioritise patient education. Our dentists go beyond routine care by offering oral care advice tailored to address specific concerns with your teeth. We provide guidance on proper brushing, flossing, and other aspects of maintaining good oral hygiene at home, recommending specific dental products or techniques tailored to your individual needs.

X-rays (If Necessary)

In some cases, x-rays may be taken to provide a more detailed overview of your teeth and identify any issues not visible during the clinical exam. X-rays are particularly useful for detecting hidden cavities and assessing the health of the tooth roots.

Are Dental X-rays Safe?

Radiation doses from dental x-rays are quite low. Technological advancement has also further minimised the radiation levels.

Lead vests and thyroid protectors are often used by medical practitioners in order to shield more delicate tissues from radiation. This is in addition to modern methods of concentrating on a specific area so less body parts are exposed unnecessarily. Whether or not you need an x-ray and what it would reveal about your condition are carefully evaluated by oral health experts.

“On my recent visit I took my little boy for his first dental experience. The staff were wonderful and hygienist Alex did an amazing job of making him feel comfortable and ensuring he had an enjoyable experience. He had no complaints and even talks about when we will go back to the dentist. As my dental experience as a child was terrible, I could not recommend Alex and the team highly enough for a visit for children to make them comfortable and a positive experience.”

“I went for a routine check up and clean as a new customer to the practice. From checking in (Abby) to the clean (Dr Chantal and Kian), everyone was very professional and thorough. A very comprehensive assessment was made and a meticulous clean was provided by Dr Chantal. Overall great dental experience and I will be back.”

“I am a white knuckle dental patient (a product of school mobile dental care back in the 1960’s) I had a crown installed all in one visit today (less than 3 hours). Totally painless. All staff were wonderful and highly empathetic to my issues. The practice is highly recommended, which is why I have been a patient at Kedron for the last 15 years.”

“Elwynn has been my dentist for many years, and without a doubt is one of the best! Extremely professional and knowledgeable; but where he is really ahead of the rest, is the care and explanation he provides throughout any treatment or examination. Great to have him in the Brisbane area!”
