Check-Up & Clean

Maintain a Healthy Smile with Regular Check-Up & Clean

At Hampton Dental Surgery, our check-up and clean appointments are designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy, prevent future dental issues, and maintain a fresh, confident smile.

Regular visits allow us to detect problems early and provide gentle, effective care to keep your oral health on track.

What is a Check-Up & Clean?

A check-up and clean is a preventive dental appointment that combines a comprehensive oral examination with a professional teeth cleaning.

During this visit, your dentist carefully assesses your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, followed by a thorough clean to remove plaque, tartar, and stains that cannot be removed with regular brushing alone.

This simple routine plays a key role in maintaining long-term oral health and preventing more serious dental issues.

What’s Included in Your Check-Up & Clean?

Our comprehensive appointments typically include:

Comprehensive Dental Examination

We thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for decay, gum disease, and any abnormalities. This may also include assessing your bite and overall oral health.

Professional Scale & Clean

We remove plaque and hardened tartar from your teeth using specialised tools, followed by polishing to leave your teeth smooth and clean.

Gum Health Assessment

Your gums are checked for signs of inflammation, bleeding, or gum disease to ensure they remain healthy.

X-Rays

Digital X-rays may be taken to detect hidden issues such as decay between teeth or problems below the surface.

Fluoride Treatment

A fluoride application may be provided to strengthen your teeth and help protect against decay.

Oral Hygiene Guidance
