At Cambridge City Dental, our dentists believe prevention is the best treatment.
Therefore, we recommend booking routine check ups with one of our dentists to ensure any dental problems are picked up before it’s too late.
This is also a good opportunity for you to discuss any potential concerns you may have about your teeth and the relevant restorative or cosmetic treatment options available to you.
If you haven’t seen a dentist for a while please do not feel embarrassed or have any fear of finding out what your oral state may be like. As professionals, we are there to help you get back on track and have the smile you deserve.
Contact Cambridge City Dental to book your regular dental check up and clean.
What Happens During a Routine Check Up?
Depending on your overall oral health, your dental appointment will likely consist of the following services.
Scale and Clean
One of the most important aspects of a routine dental appointment is the professional scale and clean. Our dentists will remove any built up plaque and tartar from your teeth that might be missed during your regular brushing and flossing routine. The teeth cleaning process involves the use of specialised instruments to reach those hard to get places, leaving your teeth feeling clean and looking great.
Treatments
Sometimes your dentist may recommend a fluoride treatment. Fluoride is a natural chemical that helps strengthen your teeth against tooth decay, plaque and enamel wear. Your dentist will apply topical fluoride directly to your teeth.
A Thorough Examination of Your Teeth
Your dentist will examine your teeth, looking for any signs of tooth decay or other damage. They will also check your gums for any early signs of inflammation or gum disease. Your dentist will also take into consideration your medical history and any past dental treatment you have received.
Teeth X-rays
Depending on your individual oral health, our dentists may recommend getting X-rays taken during your appointment. This helps us to check for any problems with your teeth and gums that might not be visible including the enamel layer, for children, any emerging teeth, and signs of decay.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Frequently Do You Need to Book a Dental Check Up and Clean?
The answer to this question depends on your individual oral health. Our dentists recommend that you book a check-up and clean every six months, or as often as they deem necessary. If any dental concerns arise in between regular check ups, don’t hesitate to book in an earlier appointment with a dentist for a check up.
How Much Does a Dental Check Up Cost?
In Australia, the cost of a dental check-up will vary depending on your level of health insurance coverage. At Cambridge City Dental, we accept all major private health funds and can claim on the spot using Hicaps. This means, we can claim this for you on the day and all you need to pay is the gap. In most cases, the gap payment is minimal for a routine examination and scale and clean.
How Long Does a Dentist Check Up Take?
A dental check-up will generally take around 30 minutes. This allows enough time for a thorough clean, general check up and any other treatments or services your dentist may recommend to you.
Do You Offer Dental Cleans and Check Ups For Children?
We certainly do! Just like adults, we recommend that children have a check-up and clean every six months, to ensure their teeth are healthy and developing as they should be. As family dentists, we pride ourselves on being able to provide a positive experience for children visiting the dentist to ensure a routine dental check up isn't traumatic.
Why Do I Need a Regular Dental Scale and Clean?
It’s important to have a regular dental scale and clean for several reasons. It helps to remove any plaque or tartar build up on your teeth since your last visit. This not only helps to keep your teeth looking their best but also prevents gum disease and keeps your mouth healthy. Regular teeth cleaning and brushing at home is not as effective as visiting the dentist. A dentist may also be able to help remove stains on your teeth from coffee, tea, or red wine.
