Examination Brentford
Protect your smile with a thorough, personalised dental examination.
Regular dental examinations are an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. At Brentford Health Dental, our comprehensive examinations allow your dentist to assess your overall oral health, identify potential problems early and provide personalised advice based on your individual needs. We check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, worn teeth and other dental concerns.
During your examination, your dentist will discuss any concerns you may have and carefully assess your teeth, gums, bite and overall oral health. Where appropriate, dental X-rays may also be recommended to identify issues that cannot be seen during a visual examination. Regular check-ups can help you maintain a healthy smile and reduce the risk of more complex dental problems in the future.

How often should I have a dental examination?
The recommended frequency depends on your individual oral health, dental history and risk factors. Your dentist will advise you on how often you should attend.
What happens during a dental examination?
Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, bite and mouth, while discussing any concerns you may have. X-rays may be recommended where clinically appropriate.

Not necessarily. X-rays are only recommended when your dentist believes they are clinically appropriate and useful for assessing areas that cannot be seen during a routine examination.

Regular examinations allow potential problems to be identified early, helping you maintain good oral health and avoid more extensive treatment where possible.
