Our general wellbeing forms an essential part of our lives, and good dental health is a vital component. Timely dental checkups are necessary in order to maintain good oral health all year around – if you are looking for a dental check-up in Horncastle, look no further than the team here at Kordel House Dental Practice.

Our full dental check-up includes a thorough examination of your gums, mouth and teeth in order to prevent dental problems and maintain good oral hygiene. Regular dental checkups are crucial in detecting and preventing dental issues, which can be difficult to deal with if not remedied at an early stage. These issues may include:

• Cavities
• Gum disease
• Plaque and tartar
• Oral cancer

In addition, our dentists will also give you detailed aftercare advice, which is tailored to not only maintain great oral health but also bring out the best in your smile.

Dental checkups are important because they serve as a guide to help our dentists compare their previous patient findings with the current one, to determine the state of oral and dental health.

This helps us determine what procedures may be required to resolve issues such as cavities, for example. In addition, it allows us to have an early diagnosis of possible medical conditions, which may be lurking around without fully revealing symptoms.

For instance, if we find a cavity at a fairly early stage, we can fix it by using a small filling or fluoride application, instead of using a large filling or a root canal treatment.

Timely dental checkups serve to prevent gum disease at an early stage. Gum disease is one of the leading causes of premature tooth loss in adults and causes unnecessary pain and sensitivity in the gums. Therefore, it is very important to detect possible gum disease at the earliest, so that the correct treatment can be administered to maintain better tooth and gum health in future.
