Ever wondered why dentists recommend a check-up every six months? Cavities often develop over this time, and when caught early, they can sometimes be reversed with treatments like fluoride varnish and amorphous calcium phosphate mousse — both of which we provide at your visit. If a cavity is already irreversible, it can still be treated quickly and comfortably with a simple filling. Leave it longer, though, and it could lead to an infection needing more invasive treatment such as a root canal or even an extraction.
Your mouth is also the “window to your body,” and certain health conditions — including anaemia, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnoea and even some vitamin deficiencies to mention a few — can first show signs here. By spotting these changes early, we can refer you to the right medical professional for further care.
During your check-up at Root Dental Clinic, we’ll carefully examine your jaw joints, teeth, gums, and oral tissues, and document everything in your digital chart. We’ll then invite you to join our recall program so you never miss your 6-month visit — because your health really is that important to us.
Removes plaque, tartar, and stains — especially from hard-to-reach areas — while preventing and treating gum disease to keep your gums strong and healthy for life.
Fluoride varnish and amorphous calcium phosphate mousse can help protect your teeth from cavities — and can even reverse them in their very early stages. We may also recommend fissure sealants, which are a protective coating placed over the deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of teeth. These grooves can trap food and bacteria, making them prone to cavitation if not cleaned properly. Sealants act as a shield, providing extra protection — especially for children, where perfect daily brushing and a balanced diet can sometimes be a challenge.
Personalised easy to follow tips for you and your whole family to keep teeth healthy between visits and for life.
