Krista, the oral health therapist at Bacchus Marsh Dental House, brings a thorough and caring approach to every appointment. For patients across Melbourne’s west looking for a practice that covers every detail of their oral health, the step-by-step process at Bacchus Marsh Dental House is designed to leave nothing overlooked.
What Happens During Your Checkup
Examining Your Teeth for Decay and Damage
The appointment begins with a careful look at your teeth to check for any holes, cracks, or signs that something needs attention. This part of the visit is about making sure everything is healthy and catching anything early before it has the chance to develop into a more involved concern. Early detection through a routine dental check-up and clean is one of the most straightforward ways to stay on top of your oral health.
Full Oral Cancer Screening
As part of every checkup, a full oral cancer screening is carried out to check for any abnormal symptoms. This is a step that often goes unmentioned but forms an important part of comprehensive general dentistry care. It takes only a short amount of time and provides meaningful peace of mind.
The Cleaning Process
Airflow Powder Technology
Once the examination is complete, the cleaning begins. Krista uses airflow powder technology, which works similarly to a pressure washer for your teeth. It delivers a thorough clean that removes surface staining and leaves teeth feeling noticeably fresher. It is a gentle yet highly effective approach to polishing.
EMS Tartar Removal
Following the airflow treatment, the EMS system is used to remove hardened tartar that builds up over time and cannot be brushed away at home. This combination of airflow and EMS delivers a more complete clean than traditional methods alone.
What to Expect After Your Clean
Some patients notice a little sensitivity or light bleeding in the hours following their clean. This is a normal response and settles quickly. Regular six-monthly visits help prevent gingivitis and reduce the risk of gum disease developing over time, which means each visit is also an investment in the health of your gums going forward.
