A dental check-up is far more than a quick look at your teeth. It checks for decay, gum disease, worn or failing restorations, bite problems and changes in the soft tissues of the mouth.
Regular check-ups allow small problems to be found when they are easier to manage, and give you personalised advice on keeping your mouth healthy.
