What Is a Check-Up & Clean?
A dental check-up and clean is a routine preventive appointment designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy. During the visit, your dentist will carefully examine your mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues — often detecting problems early before they become painful or costly.
A professional clean removes plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can miss, while digital X-rays allow us to see what's happening beneath the surface, ensuring thorough and effective care.

What Happens During a Check-Up & Clean
- 1 Comprehensive examination
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums, tongue, and soft tissues for signs of decay, gum disease, wear, and other concerns. Oral cancer screening is included at every check-up.
- 2 Digital X-rays
When clinically indicated, digital X-rays help detect issues not visible to the naked eye, such as decay between teeth, bone loss, or impacted teeth.
- 3 Professional clean
Plaque and tartar are carefully removed from above and below the gumline using specialised instruments. Your teeth are then polished to remove surface staining, leaving your smile clean and bright.
- 4 Review & advice
Your dentist goes over any findings, recommends treatment if needed, and provides personalised tips on brushing, flossing, and maintaining your oral health at home.
