The main purpose of a dental examination to detect any potential problems before they become more serious and affect your teeth or gums. Dental calculus (tartar) and plaque buildup can contribute to gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.
A routine visit to your local dentist every six months for a thorough clean can help reduce the risk of decay, gum disease, and other dental concerns through early detection and professional care.

During the procedure, our dentist uses an ultrasonic scaler to carefully clean your teeth and remove food particles from hard-to-reach areas. At Aspendale Gardens Dental Care, we use gentle techniques to remove plaque, tartar, and stains effectively, helping maintain a cleaner and healthier mouth.

Before we begin, we explain each step of the process, so you know what to expect. Patient comfort is our priority, and we aim to make your visit as relaxed and positive as possible.

We might need an X-ray to determine your oral health during the check-up process. Dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation and are considered safe when performed as needed.

Our dentists might leave the room while taking the X-ray, as they take numerous images all day, increasing radiation exposure over time. The radiation exposure from a few dental X-rays is minimal and within accepted safety guidelines.
