Your teeth and mouth are exposed to bacteria more than most other parts of your body, sometimes these bacteria can build up without going undetected and result in something serious. Therefore, a regular check up is a way to ensure that your oral health is good and detect any symptoms for something serious.
Most dental check ups are completed between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on each individual case and any further examinations we may need to perform.
We recommend getting a dental check up every 6 months at minimum, this will reduce the likelihood of any nasty surprises building up in your mouth going undetected. Depending on your oral health, it may be better for you to get a check up more frequently than every 6 months.
