KEEP IT IN CHECK WITH REGULAR ORAL HEALTHCHECKS

KEEP IT IN CHECK WITH REGULAR ORAL HEALTHCHECKS

Apart from specialised treatments, regular dental check-ups are encouraged to ensure your oral health. 

From cavity, tartar, and plaque detection, to checking of gums, to teeth scaling, our dentists can perform the thorough examinations you and your family need. Plus, advise any need for treatment or scaling to keep your teeth shining brilliantly.

Scaling and polishing

As the old saying goes, “prevention is better than cure”, and the same goes for your oral health.

That’s why, it is important that you have regular dental check-ups for early detection of any dental problems that may not be obvious to you.

Fillings

Simply make an appointment with us for a careful and thorough examination of evey part of your mouth and face. Your teeth will be checked for cracks, wear, or decay. Gums will be checked for its colour and shape. Finally, your bones, cheeks, and tongue will be examined for any unusual swelling.

Fissure Sealant

It is advised for low-risk patients to visit a dentist once every 12 to 18 months. However, moderate to high-risk patients may need frequent consultations.

you to develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
