Your well being starts with a healthy mouth. Our mouths are a natural entry point for harmful bacteria, which breed on the sugar and carbohydrates we consume each day. Consistent brushing and flossing at least twice a day is essential to your oral health, but it’s not enough!
Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are needed to clean the areas a toothbrush cannot reach and to identify early signs of medical and dental problems.
Your dentist and hygienist are trained to spot problems before they progress – saving you time and money.
What your dentist will do for you !
During every dental appointment, our team at Northumberland Dental Care, 58 Northumberland Rd, Dublin 4, will examine the head, neck, lymph nodes, oral cavity, and the lower jaw joints to look for:
A healthy tongue
Bleeding and inflammation
Broken or cracked teeth
Cavities
Cysts or growths
Damaged, loose, or missing fillings
Early signs of oral cancer
Evidence of teeth grinding or clenching
Health of the temporomandibular joint
Loose teeth
Problems with the oral tissues
Signs of gum disease
Teeth positioning, bite, and spacing
Visual signs of tooth decay
This usually involves the taking of an xray- called an intraoral xray or an OPG (orthopanthagram) . It may also involve taking photographs in the mouth or outside the mouth.
When a full assessment is made, a plan will be written up for you and discussed, the aim of which is always to restore you mouth to full health, functionally and aesthetically!
