Dental Check-ups & Cleaning

Keep Your Smile Healthy with Dental Check-ups & Cleans in Nambour

What Are Dental Check-ups & Cleans and Why Might You Need Them?

Regular check-ups and cleaning are essential for maintaining your oral health and overall wellbeing. At Nambour Dental, these appointments help prevent serious dental issues and allow your dentist to identify any concerns early.

A professional clean removes plaque and tartar that can lead to gum disease and decay. These visits also give your dentist a chance to check for signs of infection, decay, damage or other concerns, and offer advice on maintaining oral hygiene at home.

We offer a welcoming, supportive environment and take the time to listen to your concerns. With advanced technology and experienced practitioners, our team ensures your visit is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

 FAQs

  • Most people benefit from a check-up and clean every six months, but this can vary depending on your oral health. Your dentist will recommend a schedule that suits your individual needs.

  • Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, and jaw, looking for signs of decay, gum disease or other issues. We may also take X-rays if needed and discuss your oral hygiene routine or any concerns you have.

  • Most patients find the cleaning process comfortable. If you have sensitive gums or a build-up of tartar, you may feel some mild discomfort — but we always take a gentle approach and check in with you throughout.

  • Brushing and flossing are important, but they can't remove hardened tartar or reach certain spots as thoroughly as a professional clean. Regular cleans help prevent gum disease and keep your mouth feeling fresh.

  • Yes, most private health funds include dental check-ups and cleans in their extras cover. We offer HICAPS (Health Industry Claims and Payments Service) for on-the-spot claiming and can help you understand what’s included in your plan.

  • Absolutely. We welcome patients of all ages and offer gentle, age-appropriate care for kids. Regular visits help children get comfortable with the dentist and build healthy habits early.
