How often do I need a dental check-up?
To maintain a healthy smile and good oral health, most dentists recommend that you receive a dental check-up and clean once every six months. This advice is the same for both adults and children.
If you’re currently experiencing or at risk of developing a serious dental issue, such as receding gums, you may need to visit your dentist for a check-up more frequently.
Who can attend a dental check-up?
Regular dental check-ups and cleaning are recommended for people at all stages of their life. In particular, it’s advised that:
- Children receive their first dental check-up at the age of one or when their teeth start to come through.
- Pregnant women receive routine check-ups, as the hormones in their bodies can put them at greater risk of developing problems, such as gum disease.
- People who wear dentures continue to visit the dentist regularly for a check-up, as they can still suffer from plaque build-up and inflammation.
How much does a dentist check-up cost?
The costs of a dentist check-up vary depending on the clinic. The average cost of a check-up that includes an examination, scale, clean and x-ray, can be as much as $315 in Australia.
At Signature Smile Dental, we offer these services at a competitively priced $199 for new patients.
Reduced fees may also apply for a dental check-up and clean for children between the ages of 0 and 17 who are eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.
