Routine continuing dental care

Routine continuing dental care is a preventive dental treatment. It involves a comprehensive oral check and providing advice tailored to suit each patient's needs and keep the mouth fresh and clean. Routine continuing dental care also involves advising the patient on how to care for the mouth and prevent the risk of gum disease.

Steps involved in the routine dental care procedure

Our dentist at Hygienist London will check for any developing dental issues, including signs of cavities and tooth decay. The dentist will recommend a suitable treatment plan. Then you will have a teeth cleaning session, which can also identify oral health issues that require treatment.

After each continuing dental care session, the effect will last for months, and the dentist will advise you to maintain a good dental care routine at home. Ensure you schedule a routine dental check-up and cleaning with the hygienist every 3 – 6 months.

Our continuing dental care services

• Regular oral examination

  During your routine exam, the dentist will assess your gums, teeth and mouth and screen for signs of oral cancer. The dentist will ask about your general health and check if you have had problems with your gums, teeth and mouth since your last visit. You may get advice on diet, the use of alcohol and cigarettes, and teeth-cleaning habits. We advise visiting a dental hygienist and undergoing x-rays to check beneath your tooth surface.

• Oral cancer examination

  During your dental exam, the hygienist or dentist will check for signs of oral cancer. They will also feel your neck beneath your jaw and inside your lips and cheek and examine the roof of your mouth and the side of your tongue. Preventive oral care evaluation can detect early signs of mouth cancer.

• Treatment for toothache

  If you are experiencing toothache or other dental emergencies, our dentists are available to help you, whether you are a registered or new patient. We may carry out a dental x-ray after discussing the problem.

• Scaling and polishing

  Scaling and polishing help to remove stubborn stains from the teeth, including plaque and tartar. It helps prevent gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontics. Depending on your case, you will get another appointment for a scale and polish, including instructions to improve your oral hygiene.
