Dental Health Examination
Regular dental check-ups are the best way to take care of your oral health. Even if you think your teeth are in good shape at the moment, it’s still a good idea to see a dentist, as they may be able to spot and treat issues before they start causing you any problems.
What is a dental check-up?
A dental check-up is a preliminary examination of your mouth and teeth designed to flag up anything that needs attention and/or treatment.
Regular check-ups are a must for all patients, but some people will need more check-ups than others, depending on their risk for dental disease. Your dentist will be able to work out a schedule that’s right for you.
What's involved with a Dental Check-up
- Your dentist will ask about your oral health since your last examination and whether you have experienced any pain or noticed any other problems.
- Your dentist will perform a thorough extra and intra-oral examination. This will include a check of not only your teeth, but also your soft tissues (including your gums, cheeks and tongue). This is to screen for oral cancer and other soft tissue conditions, that can often be painless so you may not know about them.
- From time to time your dentist will advise that x-rays of your teeth are taken to help spot early or hard to find problems, such as decay in between the teeth, or advancing gum disease.
- At the end of the appointment, your dentist will go through anything they’ve found as a result of their examination, and discuss what your treatment options may be. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions about your check up and/or treatment before you leave. Your dentist may also recommend one or more visits to the hygienist, if they feel this is indicated.

Robert Alexander23 October 2023Had an extraction of a badly damaged tooth four days ago. Oliver very friendly and professional. Not the best patient and hate needles. Gel on gums first and can honestly say never felt a thing. Excellent job.Anthea C20 October 2023I have had the best possible experience with Northview for both dental and cosmetic work and would recommend the practice to anyone! Coming here has completely changed my perception of going to the dentist, which I had previously had bad experiences with. I initially came here for invisalign but in my inital xrays, Andrew advised me that I needed several fillings and 2 extractions - something my NHS dentist hadn't picked up on and whose work I believe contributed to this. I was horrified and really anxious about the extractions but Andrew completely put me at ease, playing whatever music I wanted during the appointment and reassuring me the whole time. The procedure was absolutely fine - I had nothing to worry about! After that I proceeded with invisalign followed by a little bit of composite bonding and whitening. It has transformed my smile and my confidence. I never used to smile with my teeth in photos but now I smile all the time! The facilities at North View are modern, the service brilliant, and the people super friendly, professional and skilled from the moment you arrive. I definitely want to come here for all treatments in the future. Thank you so much Andrew and team!Andtew Brooks18 October 2023Paul Jay14 October 2023Had two extractions yesterday with Mr Oliver Jones, several injections, no pain!
