Dental Check up & Clean
Why Dental Checkup & Clean?
A regular dental checkup & clean is important and we value and highly recommend this simple and low-cost procedure at Midway Dental Clinic. From children as young six months of age, we have been looking after many families’ teeth for well over 25 years. This visit will give the dentist an opportunity to check your mouth and teeth and help prevent tooth decay. Even if you do not have any problems with your mouth, it is important to see dentist six monthly. We do carry out this simple preventive procedure conveniently at both our dental clinics in Ashfield and Ryde.
What happens in a Dental Checkup & Clean?
We will start with a full teeth and gum check-up, listen to your concerns. So you can be made aware of the health of your mouth. Midway dentist will also recommend x-rays every 2-5 years depending on the state of your teeth and gums.
You will receive a scale, clean and polish to remove any plaque and tartar build-up around your teeth and gums. This will leave you with a smooth and refreshing feel around your mouth.
Your check up will also involve a fluoride application, which helps strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities. Fluoride is a natural mineral found in the earth and water. It does an excellent job of reducing dental decay. You can find fluoride in our waters, toothpastes and mouth gels.
