Decay and gum disease are the most common problems\nand they both start off small and insignificant. You won\u2019t even be able to feel\nthere is anything wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when you come\nfor regular check-ups with us, we can spot problems developing, and in their\nvery early stages, which is way before you will be able to feel anything. By\nthe time you do, the problem is often already fairly advanced and treatment\nwill cost more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens during a check-up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A check-up is our\nchance as your <strong>dentist in Mackay<\/strong> to have a good look\nround inside your mouth. We check each of your teeth individually, looking for\ndecay and gum disease, as well as wear and tear and erosion. We will also check\nany fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges and dental implants to make sure they\nare also still in good working order. Crowns, bridges, fillings and veneers all\nwear out eventually and need replacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We may also need\nto take digital x-rays so that we can see what is going on inside your teeth,\nunder your fillings and also inside your jawbone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If we find something wrong<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we do find the\nbeginnings of a problem, we will tell you about it straight away. We can then\ndraw up a written treatment plan, or, if it is a simple fix, such as a small\nfilling, we may be able to do it straight away, with your consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we find a\nbigger problem that will need more work, we can discuss options with you and\nyou can take your time to decide what to do. This is especially important if we\nfind you need teeth replacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make 2019 the year you start\nhaving regular check-ups.
