During a dental check up, your True Dental Care Preston dentist will evaluate your oral health status through a series of tests. All aspects of your oral health will be checked for any signs of dental problems. Your neck, teeth, gums, and jaw will be evaluated. Your dentist may also take an X-ray or impression of your teeth to check for bite defects.
Other diagnostic tests such as oral cancer screening may be done as well. This is very crucial as the disease has 90% cure rate if detected and treated early.
A dental scale and clean may also be performed to remove all plaque and tartar buildup in your mouth, which has not been removed during brushing.
Your diet and lifestyle may be discussed as well. Your dentist will give you personalised oral hygiene instructions that include a list of mouth friendly foods and good oral habits.
We strongly advise two dental appointments a year, done once every six months. This frequency may be changed, however, if you have a dental problem. You may be required to visit more often so your dentist can monitor your progress.
This is important since only a dentist can properly determine whether or not you are making progress and if a dental problem is being treated appropriately.
Dental cleaning, on the other hand, may not be done every dental check up. Your dentist will determine whether or not you need it.
The longer you delay a dental check up, the more you risk your oral health to dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
Basically, all our services can be accessed by children when the situation calls for it. But we strongly recommend introducing your child to preventative dentistry services at an early date. These dental treatments set the foundation of your child’s oral health journey.
Part of our children’s dentistry services is habit formation and correction. We educate children on how to properly care for their teeth and the habits that harm their oral health. We believe that investing early in your child’s oral health will save your child from a future of poor dental health.
Below are some of the preventative dentistry services in our office:

The goal of the root canal treatment is to save a tooth from extraction. It also called endodontic treatment or therapy.
During a root canal treatment, the infected tooth-pulp is removed. The inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned before a temporary filling is placed. On your next dental appointment, the permanent filling is placed. A dental crown is often used to reinforce the strength of the tooth.
Most root canal treatments take 3 to 4 appointments, with a success rate of about 95%. The severity of the damage and previous dental jobs performed on the tooth are among the factors that affect the duration of the procedure.
At True Dental Care Preston, root canal treatments are safe and nearly painless.
Zoom Whitening is a teeth whitening option that offers amazing results in less than an hour. A Zoom advanced power chairside lamp is used and a powerful bleaching agent is applied to accelerate the process.
