It is highly recommended to have a 6 monthly check up in order to detect any dental problems (including but not limited to signs of decays or gum disease) as early as possible before it becomes more complicated after which you will need more complicated treatments. It will not only save your teeth but also treatment costs. It involves:
- Comprehensive oral examination by your dentist
- Set of x-rays
- Cleaning, polishing and fluoride application to maintain oral hygiene
- Assessment of gum health
- Oral hygiene assessment and instruction from your dentist (teeth brushing, flossing)
