Checkup and Clean

You’ve likely heard the saying, “prevention is better than cure.” We agree. At Smile Creation, we encourage patients to take a preventative approach to their oral health. Coming into our office two times a year for a checkup and clean is one of the best ways to ensure your teeth, gums and mouth stay healthy!

 

 As a trusted dentist in Bundoora, we offer professional check-up and clean services to help maintain your oral health. Regular dental visits are essential in preventing issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and plaque buildup. Our experienced team ensures that your teeth and gums stay in great condition with thorough examinations and professional cleaning.

 

During a check-up at our Bundoora dental clinic, we carefully assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. If necessary, we use digital X-rays to detect any hidden issues that may require attention. Our goal is to identify and treat potential problems early, preventing more complex dental issues in the future. Whether it’s your routine visit or your first appointment, we make sure you receive personalised care tailored to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

While adopting scrupulous oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice a day and flossing daily are critical, professional cleans are necessary to remove tartar buildup.
Yes, but we do not take X-rays on pregnant patients. Because the hormones in your body can negatively impact the gums during pregnancy, it’s critical to see a dental professional. During pregnancy, there’s a greater likelihood that gums become inflamed, infected and bleeding, which can lead to gum disease and tooth decay.
  • Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time using toothpaste that contains fluoride.
  •  Floss your teeth once a day.
  •  If you play contact sports or grind your teeth, wear a protective mouthguard.
  •  Don’t smoke, vape or chew tobacco.
  •  Eat a healthy diet and avoid sugary snacks and junk food.

If your mouth is healthy, brushing twice daily and flossing once a day are typically all that you need to do when it comes to oral hygiene habits. You can certainly include an over-the-counter mouthwash as part of your oral care routine if you like; it’s just a preference, but using mouthwash isn’t necessary.

 

When choosing a mouth rinse, select one that doesn’t contain alcohol. For years, many over-the-counter varieties contained alcohol, which can dry the mouth and be harmful in other ways.

For those patients with gum disease, we may prescribe a medicated mouth rinse to maintain a healthy mouth.

Using a mouth rinse should never be considered a substitute for brushing and flossing.
