Routine dental check-ups in Tooting

Most adults benefit from a check-up every six months, though our dentists in Tooting may suggest a different schedule based on your oral health.

Your dentist examines your teeth, gums, and mouth, checking for signs of decay, gum disease, or wear. You’ll also receive hygiene and diet advice to maintain a healthy smile.

At Waterfall Dental & Implant Centre, we are great advocates in encouraging children, and their parents, to look after their teeth and gums from an early age. The latest studies reveal that when children visit their family-friendly dentist when young, they are more likely to have a positive experience, and continue visiting their dentist throughout adulthood.

Regular visits as a child allow our dental team to spot any potential problems, like under and over-bites, as early as possible. The sooner we can treat the problem, the quicker we can resolve it for good.

From learning how to brush their teeth to remove as much plaque as possible to regular dental check-ups, our preventative dental care programme is the perfect start to a lifelong healthy, brilliant smile they can be proud of.

We will show how fluoride applications are a safe and effective way to protect children’s growing teeth, as well as applying tooth-coloured fissure sealants to the biting surface, to help prevent decay.

Starting their dentistry journey early makes sure your children have:

• Healthy teeth and gums for life.
• A reduced risk of tooth decay and/or fillings being needed.
• Potentially no fear or phobia of the dentist and Smile with Confidence always!

Prevention is always better than cure. Get in touch with us today and book your child’s dental appointment.
