What is Cleaning and Check-Up?

A professional dental check-up and clean is the foundation of good oral health. Regular clinical examinations allow dental professionals to assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues, detect concerns at an early stage, and provide preventive care before problems become more complex or costly to treat. At Primary Dental, check-up and clean appointments are tailored to each patient, with a focus on long-term oral health outcomes, clear communication, and personalised guidance to support your at-home hygiene routine.

What to expect

1. Clinical examination

A dental professional will examine your teeth, gums, soft tissues, and bite. X-rays may be recommended based on your history and clinical findings to identify concerns not visible to the naked eye, such as decay between teeth, bone changes, or early signs of other conditions.

2. Professional scale and clean

Plaque and calculus (tartar) are removed from tooth surfaces and along the gumline using professional instruments. Even with thorough brushing and flossing, tartar accumulates in areas that are difficult to reach and can only be removed with professional cleaning.

3. Gum health assessment

Gum health is assessed as part of every check-up. Early signs of gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, can often be identified and managed before they progress, making regular reviews an important part of protecting your gum and bone health long term.

4. Oral health advice and personalised recommendations

Findings are discussed with you following the examination. Your dental professional will provide personalised advice on home hygiene practices, any treatment that may be recommended, and when your next review is suggested.

    I’ve been to many dental centres in Sydney and I must say this is one of the best dental service I’ve experienced. The location is so convenient, only 2 min walk from Town Hall. Staffs are supper friendly and gentle. They also offer very affordable price and you can pay with afferpay or zippay, which is amazing! Will definitely be back!

    I do enjoy the friendly and helpful staff, it’s makes all the difference. I will be the first to admit the dentist is my least favourite place to go however after my first visit for a general check up, I felt very confident and pleased with my appointment from Dr Brett Moore. He is compassionate and caring :)
