Importance Of Regular Dental Check-Ups

At Martin Mylne Dental, our skilled practitioners conduct comprehensive examinations of your teeth, gums, and oral cavity, as well as assess your jaw, neck, and lymph nodes for any irregularities. When paired with a diligent home care regimen, these six-monthly checks are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

During your dental check-up, our dentists may decide to take a dental X-Ray of your mouth. A dental X-Ray may be required if your clinical examination or dental history indicates it. X-Rays provide essential information that can aid our team in diagnosing and planning your treatment. They help us assess jaw alignment, detect decay between teeth, and identify any impacted teeth, abscesses, or cysts at the roots. This diagnostic tool allows us to deliver more accurate and effective care tailored to your specific needs.
