Routine Dental Examination

With a commitment to holistic care, our practice offers a nurturing environment where routine dental examinations are much more than a quick glance at dental health. They are comprehensive evaluations tailored to understand and enhance your total wellness.

What is a routine dental examination?

The routine dental examination is foundational to maintaining oral health. Contrary to the common perception that they are merely a check-up of your teeth and gums, these examinations are comprehensive evaluations that play a critical role in preventive health care.

During these visits, Dr Magan thoroughly examines the teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for signs of potential issues such as decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer. However, routine examinations extend beyond detection; they are an opportunity for patients to discuss any concerns, receive valuable advice on oral hygiene, and develop a personalised care plan that aligns with their overall health goals.

Why is it important for me to have a dental examination?

The significance of routine dental examinations cannot be overstated. They are preventive measures and proactive steps towards ensuring a lifetime of oral health. It is generally recommended that individuals visit the dentist at least twice a year for these evaluations. However, Dr Magan understands that each patient's needs are unique and may suggest a frequency that best suits your specific health conditions and risks.

Dental examinations with Dr Magan serve multiple purposes: they aid in the early detection of possible health issues, preventing them from evolving into more severe conditions; they maintain the health and integrity of your teeth and gums, contributing to your overall well-being; and they instil a sense of responsibility towards one's health.

Dr Magan's holistic focus means that these examinations are also a time to assess how your oral health influences or is influenced by other aspects of your health and life.

What can I expect during my routine dental examination?

Initially, you will engage in a conversation about your dental and overall health history, which will provide a holistic view of your well-being.

Following this, Dr Magan conducts a detailed examination of your mouth, including your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, employing the latest X-ray technology for precision and comfort. You will also undergo professional cleaning to remove plaque and calculus build-up, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.

Dr Magan also offers guidance on maintaining optimal oral hygiene tailored to your specific needs. This might include dietary advice, recommendations for dental products, or techniques for brushing and flossing more effectively. The goal is not just to ensure dental health but to empower you with the knowledge and habits that support a healthy lifestyle.
