General Dental Examination & Oral Hygiene

Healthy teeth. Healthy gums. A healthier you.

Your mouth is the gateway to your body’s health it helps you eat, speak, smile and enjoy life. Regular dental visits are one of the best ways to protect that health. At Keevy Dentistry, we recommend a general dental examination and professional cleaning every six months to help catch small problems early and prevent them from becoming larger issues.

What we check during your visit

A routine dental examination includes a careful review of both the soft and hard tissues of your mouth.

• Soft tissue examination: We look for signs of infection, inflammation, tissue changes, plaque or tartar buildup, and early signs of gum (periodontal) disease. Early detection helps us stop problems before they worsen.
• Hard tissue examination: We examine your teeth and supporting bone structures, often using intraoral radiographs (digital X-rays). These images help us find hidden decay, cracks, or bone loss that may not be visible during a visual exam.

The importance of regular cleaning

Professional scaling and polishing removes plaque and tartar the main causes of gum infection, bone loss, and tooth decay. Even with excellent home care, some buildup can only be removed safely by a dental professional. Regular cleanings and check-ups help protect your teeth and gums for years to come.

Your role in prevention

While we play an important role in your oral health, the most crucial care happens at home. Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and following our professional advice are essential to preventing future problems.

At Keevy Dentistry, we’re here to support you with gentle, thorough care and to help you understand how small habits can make a big difference to your long-term oral health.
