At The Good Dentist in Newcastle, we believe consistent dental visits maintain your smile’s health and beauty whilst protecting your overall wellbeing. Our comprehensive dental check up services combine thorough examinations with professional cleaning, ensuring every aspect of your oral health receives the attention it deserves.

What Does A Dental Check-Up Involve?
At The Good Dentist, we ensure every patient receives the same high level of care whether you are a new patient or returning one.
Your dental check-up includes a visual and 3D inspection of your teeth, tongue, and gums, a measure of tartar buildup, a check of your bite and jawbone, plus an assessment of oral cancer risk factors. After this thorough examination, a professional cleaning takes place. A dental scale removes plaque, surface stain, and bacteria, followed by teeth polishing with fluoride treatment, if appropriate.
Dental Examination Components
Our detailed dental examination covers all aspects of your oral health:
- Examination of mouth, teeth, gums, and tongue for decay, disease, or other issues
- Discussion around general health and any dental concerns
- Recommendations about effective brushing and flossing habits
- Halitosis check, if you’re experiencing bad breath
- Advice about preventing tooth decay and gum disease
This comprehensive approach ensures your dental check up addresses current concerns whilst focusing on prevention, helping maintain optimal oral health between visits.
Professional Cleaning and Preventive Care
Professional cleaning is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Even with excellent home care, plaque and tartar accumulate in difficult-to-reach areas. Our skilled dental hygienists use specialised instruments to thoroughly clean teeth, removing buildup that could lead to decay or gum disease.
The check up and clean process includes scaling to remove hardened plaque and polishing to eliminate surface stains. This combination ensures your teeth are clean and healthy.
