Dentist Check Ups in Leicester - Lavender Dental & Implant Clinic

Check ups

Our dentists in Leicester can repair teeth, but a regular dental check-up is the best way to prevent the need for treatment. Our friendly dentists will carefully examine your teeth, gums and mouth in order to identify any potential problems and also perform an oral mouth cancer screening. Dental Check-ups are advised at least once a year to maintain a healthy mouth.

Prevention is always better than cure. Regular examinations of your dental health and having your teeth cleaned professionally are essential to protect the health of your teeth and gums.

At each dental examination your teeth, gums and mouth will be carefully examined to ensure you are in good dental health. After the examination we will discuss with you any requirements you may have and offer advice on how to protect your teeth.

At Lavender Dental & Implant Clinic, we believe every smile is unique. Regular dental health check-ups, alongside a good daily dental hygiene routine, help maintain good dental health and can prevent problems in the future.

Our dentists in Leicester take the time to get to know you, your lifestyle, and your dental history, and will always talk through any concerns you may have. We know that visiting the dentist can sometimes cause stress or anxiety, so we focus on building a relationship of trust to help you feel comfortable, supported and at ease throughout your visit.

What happens at a dental health check-up?

At your first appointment, your dentist will take a full medical and dental history to gain a clear understanding of your individual needs. X-rays may be taken if clinically necessary, as these can help assess the health of your teeth and jaw and identify any issues that may not be visible during a visual examination.

At every dental health check-up, your Leicester dentist will:

  • Examine your mouth, teeth and gums
  • Test for signs of gum disease
  • Carry out mouth cancer screening
  • Take x-rays if needed
  • Offer dental health advice and guidance
  • Refer you to a dental hygienist if appropriate

If any concerns are identified, your dentist will discuss these with you and provide tailored advice or a treatment plan where required.

What are the benefits of regular dental health check-ups?

Prevention is always better than cure. Regular dental health check-ups allow your dentist to spot early signs of tooth decay, gum disease or other dental health concerns and prevent them from becoming more serious.

By attending routine dental health check-ups, you can help:

  • Maintain good dental health
  • Reduce the risk of gum disease and mouth cancer
  • Prevent bad breath (halitosis)
  • Protect and retain your natural teeth

How often should I have a dental health check-up?

How often you need a dental health check-up will depend on your individual needs. Some patients may only require a check-up once a year, while others — particularly those undergoing treatment — may benefit from more frequent visits.

Your Leicester dentist will discuss the most suitable frequency with you and work with you to arrange appointments at times that suit your schedule.
