How often should you have a dental check-up and clean? 🗓️

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Many people are advised to visit every 6 to 12 months, but the right timing depends on your individual needs and risk.

Some people may benefit from more frequent visits, including those with:

🦷 A history of gum disease
🦷 Frequent or recurring cavities
🦷 A smoking habit or a dry mouth
🦷 Certain health conditions or medications that affect oral health

If you're not sure when you're due, we can look at your history and recommend a schedule that suits you. Regular visits help us catch small changes early, so they're easier to manage.

Overdue for a check-up? Book with us.

Why do we take dental X-rays?

Because a lot can happen where we can't see it. A visual check is important, but some changes are hidden from view. X-rays help us find:

🔎 Decay between teeth, where it often starts unnoticed
🔎 Decay under existing fillings or crowns
🔎 Changes below the gumline, including the bone that supports your teeth
🔎 Problems developing in the roots or around the jaw

Finding these early usually means simpler treatment and fewer surprises down the track.

Dental X-rays use low doses of radiation, and we only take them when clinically needed, based on your individual history and risk. If you have questions about X-rays, we're always happy to explain.

Book your check-up.

Looking after your gums? Here's what to do and what to avoid. 🌿

Your gums support your teeth, and small daily habits can make a big difference.

❌ DON'T brush hard
Scrubbing harder doesn't clean better and can irritate your gums or wear down the gumline.

❌ DON'T skip cleaning between your teeth
Your toothbrush can't reach every surface, and that's where plaque likes to build up.

❌ DON'T stop brushing where your gums bleed
Bleeding is often a sign of plaque, so keep cleaning the area gently.

✅ DO brush gently with a soft toothbrush
Twice a day for two minutes, angling the bristles towards the gumline.

✅ DO clean between your teeth daily
Floss or interdental brushes both work. Ask us which suits you best.

✅ DO keep up regular check-ups and cleans
Plaque that hardens into tartar can't be removed at home.

Gum disease can start quietly. Do you know the early signs? 👀

Gum disease is common, and in the early stages it often causes little or no pain, so it's easy to miss. Here are some signs to look out for:

🩸 Bleeding when you brush or floss
🔥 Red, swollen, or tender gums
💨 Bad breath that doesn't go away
⬇️ Gums that look like they're pulling back from your teeth

Having one of these doesn't automatically mean you have gum disease, but it's worth getting checked. Early gum problems are generally easier to manage, and a dental check-up is the best way to find out where your gums are at.

If any of this sounds familiar, book with us.

Is it normal for your gums to bleed when you brush? 🪥

It's common, but it's not something to ignore. Healthy gums don't usually bleed. Bleeding when you brush or floss is often an early sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis), which is usually caused by plaque building up along the gumline.

The good news is that early gum inflammation can often be improved with good home care and a professional clean. Left alone, it can progress to more serious gum disease.

One common mistake is to stop brushing the sore area. Keep brushing gently with a soft toothbrush, clean between your teeth, and book a check-up so we can see what's going on.

What happens if a cavity is left untreated? ⏳

A small cavity doesn't stay small forever. Decay is progressive, which means it keeps working its way deeper into the tooth over time.

Here's how it can unfold:
1️⃣ Early decay, often with no symptoms
2️⃣ A larger cavity as the decay spreads
3️⃣ Pain and infection if it reaches the inner part of the tooth
4️⃣ More extensive treatment may be needed

The good news is that catching decay early usually means simpler treatment. Regular check-ups give us the chance to spot changes before they become bigger problems.

If it's been a while since your last visit, we'd love to see you!

Why do some cavities go unnoticed? 🔍

Not every spot in your mouth is easy to see or feel on your own. Decay tends to start in places that are hard to reach or check:

🦷 Between teeth, where brushing can't fully clean
🦷 In the deep grooves of back molars
🦷 Along the gumline
🦷 Around existing fillings

Because these areas are tucked away, a small cavity can be there for a while before you notice anything. Brushing twice a day and cleaning between your teeth are essential, but a regular check-up (with X-rays when needed) lets us see what a mirror can't.

Can you have a cavity without any tooth pain?
Yes, you can. 🦷

Early tooth decay often develops quietly. In the early stages there may be no toothache, no sensitivity, and nothing you can spot in the mirror. Pain usually only appears once the decay has moved deeper into the tooth.

That's why waiting for symptoms isn't always the best guide. During a check-up, we look for early changes and can take X-rays when needed to see between teeth and beneath the surface, where decay often starts.

Finding decay early usually means simpler treatment.

When is a toothache a dental emergency?
Not every toothache requires emergency treatment, but some symptoms should be assessed promptly.

Seek urgent dental care if you have:
• Severe or rapidly worsening tooth pain
• Swelling in the face, jaw or gums
• Fever or feeling generally unwell
• A tooth that has been knocked, broken or badly damaged
• Difficulty swallowing or breathing

A toothache can have different causes, including decay, infection, a damaged tooth or inflammation. Pain that comes and goes shouldn't necessarily be ignored either.

If you're unsure whether your symptoms need urgent attention, it's best to contact your dentist and explain what you're experiencing.

24/09/2026

What should you do if a filling falls out?
A lost filling can leave the tooth feeling sensitive or rough, and the exposed area may be more vulnerable to further damage.

Until you can see your dentist:
• Keep the area clean with gentle brushing
• Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on that side
• If the tooth is sensitive, avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks
• Don't try to glue or fix the filling back yourself

Even if the tooth isn't painful, it's a good idea to have it assessed. The tooth may need a new filling, or your dentist may recommend another treatment depending on the condition of the tooth.

If you have significant pain, swelling or other concerning symptoms, seek dental care promptly.
