Check Up and Clean

Welcome to Bella Dental Penrith, where we believe that a healthy smile is a gateway to a happier, more confident you. We understand the importance of teeth in our daily lives; they are not just tools for chewing but an essential part of our identity and communication.

Why are teeth important?

They form an integral part of our bodies and faces, enabling us to express emotions through radiant smiles or subtle grimaces. They are the key to relishing a wide range of foods, from soft delights to satisfyingly crunchy treats. But, unfortunately, like all body parts, we often don’t fully appreciate them until they cause us pain or discomfort.

Your teeth are meant to last a lifetime, supporting you through every age and stage of life. However, they are exposed to various hazards that can, over time, lead to their deterioration. Dental problems, such as tooth decay, gum disease, loose teeth, and fractures, can arise if proper care is not taken.

This is why regular dental check-ups and cleanings are crucial. At Bella Dental Penrith, our dental check-up process begins with a comprehensive examination of your oral health. Our experienced dentists carefully inspect your teeth, gums, and the overall condition of your mouth. This examination helps us identify any signs of dental issues that may require attention. Early detection is a fundamental aspect of preventive dentistry. By identifying dental problems in their initial stages, we can address them promptly with less invasive treatments, which can save you from potential pain, discomfort, and more extensive dental procedures in the future.

As part of the examination process, dental X-rays may be recommended to get a closer look at areas that are not visible to the naked eye. X-rays enable us to detect potential problems, such as cavities between teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, or jawbone issues.

Our skilled dental hygienists perform professional dental cleanings during your check-up. Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. The cleaning process involves scaling to remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline. Polishing is then done to smooth the tooth surfaces and remove stains, making it more difficult for plaque to adhere to the teeth. Flossing is also performed to clean between teeth and under the gumline to remove any remaining debris.

Through this comprehensive approach, we not only prevent gum disease by removing harmful bacteria that cause gum inflammation, but we also provide personalised advice on maintaining optimal oral hygiene. Our dentists and hygienists will guide you on proper brushing and flossing techniques, the use of dental products, and any additional preventive measures specific to your oral health needs.

Furthermore, our dental check-up includes an oral cancer screening as part of our commitment to your overall well-being. Early detection of oral cancer can significantly improve treatment outcomes, and our team is trained to identify any suspicious signs or symptoms.

At Bella Dental Penrith, we firmly believe that dental disease is preventable. By adopting a proactive approach to oral health, including consistent brushing and flossing and regular visits to our dental professionals, you can significantly enhance your long-term overall oral health.
