What it is about
Tooth decay and gum inflammation usually develop slowly and do not hurt at first. At a check-up we can spot changes before they cause symptoms.
How cleaning works
First we remove hard and soft deposits, including in places your toothbrush cannot reach. Then we polish your teeth and apply fluoride if needed.
Finally, we show you how best to look after your teeth at home and which tools suit the gaps between your teeth.
When your gums bleed
Bleeding gums are often inflamed. Left untreated, inflammation can spread to the tissues that hold the tooth in place, so it is worth making an appointment early.
