What's Included in Your Dental Examination
Routine dental examinations are essential for maintaining excellent oral health and preventing problems before they develop. At THDP Truro, our comprehensive checkups go beyond simply assessing your teeth – they form the foundation of lifelong oral wellness.
As you age, the health of your teeth, gums, and overall oral hygiene becomes increasingly important. Our experienced team provides expert guidance to keep your smile in optimal condition. We recommend two checkups per year as part of our preventive care plan.
1. Professional Plaque and Tartar Removal
One of the most important components of your dental examination is professional plaque and tartar removal. Tartar (also called dental calculus) is hardened plaque that accumulates on teeth over time. Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, tartar buildup is inevitable.
During your checkup, our skilled dental hygienist uses specialised tools to gently and effectively remove tartar, significantly reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease. This professional cleaning keeps your teeth and gums healthy between visits.
2. Digital X-Rays When Necessary
X-rays may be recommended during a dental examination to detect hidden problems that cannot be seen in a routine check-up, helping your dentist get a complete picture of your oral health.
3. Personalised Oral Hygiene Advice
We provide personalised advice on oral hygiene practices, diet, lifestyle habits, and oral care products. Our dentists can also guide you on gum health, enamel protection, managing grinding, and maintaining appliances like dentures — giving you a complete, tailored plan to support long-term oral health.
4. Routine Oral Cancer Screening
As part of our comprehensive dental examinations, we include a detailed mouth cancer screening to protect your long-term oral health. Mouth cancer (oral cancer) can develop in the gums, tongue, cheeks, or other areas of the mouth—even if you maintain good oral hygiene.
Our experienced dentists carefully examine all tissues to detect early signs or abnormalities. Early detection is vital, as it greatly increases the success of treatment and helps prevent serious complications.
Regular oral cancer screenings ensure any concerns are identified promptly, allowing for faster intervention and supporting your overall health and well-being.
