dental CHECK UP AND HYGIENE
Deddington Dental offers an exciting alternative to the traditional dental check-up and
dental hygiene appointment in Banbury, Oxford and the surrounding areas of Oxfordshire.
HYGIENE AND SCALING
Regular hygiene cleaning and dental scaling play a vital role in preventing gum disease. During your hygiene visit, our clinician uses advanced Piezo scaling technology to gently remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your gums. They also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile looking brighter.
We take the time to show you how to maintain good oral hygiene at home, including proper techniques for using floss and interdental brushes to prevent further buildup.
If you have signs of gum disease, a deeper clean may be necessary to remove bacteria beneath the gum line. If this is the case, your clinician will explain the process. We can perform this treatment under local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort, typically over 2 to 4 sessions to clean the entire mouth thoroughly.
CHECK UP
A comprehensive dental check-up is a key step in maintaining your oral health. At Deddington Dental, our dentist and dental nurse work closely with you to carry out a detailed assessment tailored to your needs.
During your visit, the dentist listens carefully to your concerns and answers any questions you may have. They also review your general health and explain how it may affect your dental wellbeing. The examination includes checking your teeth, any existing fillings, signs of decay or other issues, the health of your gums and soft tissues, as well as your jaw joints, muscles, and glands around your head and neck.
If needed, we take digital X-rays to assess bone levels and detect any hidden problems. These are typically taken every 6–24 months depending on your individual risk level. We may also take clinical photographs to document your condition or help you better understand your oral health.
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, the dentist clearly explains the findings, discusses your oral hygiene habits, and outlines any recommended treatment. This is a collaborative conversation—not a lecture—where your questions are always welcome.
Before starting any treatment, we provide a written estimate and consent form, ensuring you’re fully informed about the benefits, risks, and costs involved.
We welcome you to visit Deddington Dental for a thorough, personalised check-up with our friendly and caring team.
