Your dentist will ask about your dental concerns, symptoms and relevant dental history.

Your teeth, gums and mouth will be assessed as appropriate.
3. Diagnostic Assessment
Where clinically indicated, your dentist may recommend X-rays, digital imaging or other diagnostic procedures.
4. Discuss the Findings

Supporting Your Long-Term Oral Health
Preventive dental care is an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
Alongside professional dental care, everyday habits such as brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth and maintaining a balanced diet can contribute to good oral health.
Your dentist can provide personalised advice based on your dental needs and help you understand areas that may require additional attention.
Regular dental appointments do not eliminate the possibility of dental problems, but they provide an opportunity to monitor your oral health and identify concerns that may require further assessment.
