General Checkup & Clean

Regular checkups and cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing a range of dental problems. Some of the benefits of our general checkup and clean service at Macquarie Dental include:

  • Prevention of tooth decay: Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay if left untreated. By removing this buildup, we can help prevent cavities from forming and keep your teeth healthy and strong.
  • Prevention of gum disease: Gum disease is a common and serious oral health issue that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and bacteria from the gums, reducing the risk of gum disease and helping to maintain healthy gums.
  • Early detection of oral cancer: Our oral cancer screening is an important part of our general checkup and clean service, as early detection of oral cancer can greatly improve treatment outcomes. By detecting oral cancer early, we can help ensure that you receive prompt and effective treatment if necessary.
  • Improved overall health: Good oral health is linked to good overall health, and regular checkups and cleanings can help prevent a range of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
  • Cost savings: By catching and treating dental problems early, regular checkups and cleanings can help you avoid more serious and expensive dental treatments down the road.

At Macquarie Dental, we believe that prevention is key to maintaining good oral health, and our general checkup and clean service is an essential part of this process. By investing in regular checkups and cleanings, you can enjoy a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles.

Our Dental Procedures

During a general checkup and clean at Macquarie Dental, our experienced dentists will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to ensure that everything is healthy and functioning properly. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:

  • Initial assessment: Your dentist will begin by asking you about your oral health history and any concerns you may have. They will then perform a visual examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
  • X-rays: Depending on your oral health needs, your dentist may take X-rays of your teeth and jaw to get a better look at what’s happening beneath the surface.
  • Scaling and polishing: Using specialized tools, your dentist or dental hygienist will remove any plaque or tartar buildup from your teeth, paying special attention to hard-to-reach areas. They will then polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave them looking and feeling clean.
  • Oral cancer screening: As part of your checkup, your dentist will perform an oral cancer screening, looking for signs of abnormal cells or lesions that may indicate oral cancer.
  • Fluoride treatment: Depending on your oral health needs, your dentist may apply a fluoride treatment to your teeth, which can help strengthen and protect them against decay.

The entire procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the extent of the cleaning and any additional treatments that may be required. At Macquarie Dental, we use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure that your checkup and clean is as thorough and comfortable as possible.
