Having regular dental check-ups is crucial for maintaining good oral health. Your dentist can detect developing dental problems that you may have missed, and help you prevent future complications that could be more costly and difficult to treat. As part of your check-up, your dentist will also examine you for oral cancer and early signs of problems in your mouth’s soft tissue. Establishing a proper oral maintenance regime can help reduce your risk of dental decay in the future. Therefore, it’s highly recommended to schedule regular dental check-ups to keep your mouth healthy.

The frequency of dental check-ups can vary between three months to two years depending on the individual’s oral health status. For those under the age of eighteen, the recommended interval is usually one year. Those with good oral health can typically attend check-ups every twelve to twenty-four months to mitigate potential problems. However, individuals with higher risk factors may require more frequent monitoring and shorter intervals between check-ups.

During your dental check-up at Kensington Court Clinic, your dentist will conduct a thorough and painless examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. They will also inquire about your general health and lifestyle, and you should provide honest and detailed responses. In addition, your dentist will ask about your diet, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, and teeth cleaning routine, and offer relevant advice. Finally, your dentist will recommend an appropriate interval for your future check-ups.

At Kensington Court Clinic, we understand that for some patients, visiting the dentist can be an anxiety-inducing event. Fear of the dentist can often prevent individuals from receiving the necessary treatment they require. This fear is a very real and often overwhelming obstacle that can make it impossible for some to consider being awake during dental procedures.

At our clinic, we aim to provide a calm and relaxed dental experience for all our patients. For those who require extra assistance, we offer the option of sedation dentistry or general anaesthesia dentistry, depending on the suitability of the patient. Whether you suffer from dental phobia or anxiety, we are committed to helping you overcome your fears and receive the dental treatment you need.
