Dental Check-Up is a routine preventive visit where the dentist at our affiliated clinic examines patients’ teeth, gums, and mouth to ensure healthy oral condition. It focuses on identifying early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, bite issues, and abnormal changes such as suspicious lumps or lesions. The goal is to catch problems before they become painful, complex, or costly to treat.

During the visit, a professional cleaning – scaling and polishing – is often performed to remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be eliminated by brushing alone. In some cases, dental X-rays may be recommended to detect hidden decay, bone loss, or infections. Beyond oral health, regular check-ups also support overall health, as poor oral hygiene has been linked to broader systemic issues.

Dental Check-Up works as a preventive and diagnostic assessment of patients’ oral condition. The dentist visually and physically examines the teeth, gums, tongue, and jaw to identify cavities, gum inflammation, bite irregularities, as well as other abnormalities. Screening for oral cancer may also be performed to detect early warning signs.

If necessary, dental X-rays are taken to evaluate areas not visible to the naked eye, such as between teeth or beneath the gumline. Professional cleaning is carried out using specialized instruments to remove hardened plaque (tartar) and surface stains, followed by polishing for a smooth finish. The dentist will also assess oral hygiene habits, diet, smoking, or alcohol use, and provide personalized recommendations. Based on patients’ oral health risk level, the dentist will determine the appropriate interval for the next visit, which may range from 3 months to 2 years.
