General Checkup and Clean in Mitcham
At Dental Kraft Mitcham our professional check up and clean service is an essential part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums for the whole family. Even with good brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up over time; leading to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. During your dental cleaning appointment, our experienced dentists and hygienists carefully remove plaque and hardened tartar from your teeth, especially in areas that are difficult to reach at home.
Comprehensive Checkup & Clean
Your visit is about more than just a clean. We take the time to understand your concerns and assess your overall oral health, so you leave knowing exactly how your teeth and gums are doing.
During your appointment, you can expect:
- Comprehensive dental examination of your teeth, bite and existing fillings
- Gum health assessment to check for signs of gum disease
- Oral cancer screening of the mouth and soft tissues
- Professional scale & clean to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains
- Fluoride treatment to help strengthen and protect your teeth
- Digital X-rays, when clinically required, to check areas we cannot see
- Intraoral photos & digital scans where appropriate
- Personalised advice to help maintain your oral health
We will explain our findings clearly and discuss any recommended treatment, so you can make informed decisions about your dental care.
How Often Should I Get a Dental Check Up & Clean?
Most patients should have a dental check up and clean every 6 months to maintain healthy teeth and gums and to help prevent dental problems before they become more serious.
Regular visits allow our dentists to detect early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, worn fillings, and other oral health concerns that may not always cause pain straight away.
Professional cleans also help remove plaque and tartar buildup in areas that are difficult to clean at home, helping keep your teeth feeling fresh and your gums healthy.
