Regular dental examinations are an important part of preventive health care because early detection of decay and infection can stop problems from getting worse. In fact, some dental problems may be an early warning sign of more serious health issues in other areas of the body. But during a general exam, your dentist will evaluate and update your medical history and do a full evaluation of your oral health to ensure you and your smile are in top shape.
Oral hygiene may be performed during a general exam to clean stains and brighten teeth, which can also act as a preventive measure. A professional dental cleaning can help prevent cavities or detect oral health problems early, so they are easily taken care of.
Professional Oral Hygiene
Professional cleaning with an experienced dental hygienist can help you avoid future problems and leave your teeth beautifully clean. Dental professionals specialise in the removal of tartar, or plaque, that can accumulate on and between teeth and even under the gum line. During the cleaning process, an evaluation of your gums, teeth and bones can take place. If early gum disease is detected, it can be immediately taken care of to stop the infection from spreading.
Brushing and flossing at home are important, but the view and expertise from a dental hygienist allow them to see if there are worrisome areas and intervene. Along with cleaning, they may apply gels or fluoride treatments, if necessary and advise on home care treatments or diet for certain oral issues. And many patients find that their teeth look brighter after cleaning than before they came in!

Prevent Future Dental and Health Problems
Left untreated, dental problems can lead to worsening and more costly dental repair. And worse, infections left unchecked can spread throughout the body. But regular dental examinations and cleaning may allow problems to be detected early, so they don’t turn into larger medical problems.
Here are a few of the issues that can be detected and resolved with regular exams, dental intervention and professional oral hygiene:

What Health Problems May be Detected?
All of the systems of the body are connected, and so a problem in one area may cause a related problem in another, and it is no exception with oral health. Our dental professionals in Melbourne are trained to identify and remedy signs of decay, disease or infection so you can feel confident that your mouth is in good health. Regular dental exams may take place between every six months to once a year, but your dentist may recommend more if there is an underlying health problem. Here are just some health issues that may show up orally.
Diabetes
Candida Overgrowth
Acid Reflux
Leukemia
But with modern technology, our dentists can help, and often quicker and easier than many patients thought. Most dentistry is painless, but for the times when there is discomfort, we have a wide variety of interventions, so you are as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Cosmetic and Aesthetic
If you were self-conscious before, we can help you smile again. A general exam and hygiene appointment will give you a fresh start and a chance to talk to your dentist. From simple tooth whitening, one-day crowns and teeth straightening with services such as Invisalign, we can help you get the beautiful smile you want and deserve. Never feel ashamed to smile again and gain the self-confidence that comes with a healthy mouth. Modern treatments can make many seemingly complicated issues easy to treat, and we have flexible payment plans to make the process more convenient.
Your Dental Examination
A full dental examination allows your dentist to detect health problems, if there are any. Your professional can review and update your medical history and help evaluate your overall health. In some cases, x-rays or scans may be taken to further investigate any questionable areas. This is a time to interact with your dentist and share any concerns you may have. If you are considering any other dental procedures, such as a new crown or teeth whitening, your dentist can give a more accurate evaluation of which system would be best for you. Our gentle caring and experienced team strive for their patient’s comfort and we look forward to getting to know you.
