Why regular dental health check-ups matter

Regular dental visits are essential for monitoring the health of your teeth and gums, and catching minor issues like damage or decay early before they require more extensive treatment.

We offer convenient opening hours with two late nights and Saturdays until 3pm to make our patients’ lives just that little bit easier.

What to expect at your dental health check-up

Your routine dental health check-up with our skilled dentist in Southampton takes around 30 minutes and includes:

  1. Assess your teeth: We will assess your teeth, gums, and soft tissues for any abnormalities and perform an oral cancer screening. We use a magnification camera that enables you to see your own teeth up close and personal, which our patients find amazing.
  2. Getting the full picture: If needed, dental X-rays will be taken to complete your assessment. You will not feel rushed and will value the detailed dental examination you receive.
  3. Personalised health advice: You’ll receive personalised oral health advice and a treatment plan based on your dental needs and exam results. If no further treatment is needed, we’ll see you in six months!

The importance of healthy gums

Gum disease often begins silently, but even without pain, your gums may be deteriorating. Early signs, such as red, swollen gums that bleed when brushing, indicate gingivitis. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis, a more severe infection that impacts the tissues surrounding your teeth.

Regular dental health check-ups and hygiene visits to Ferry Dental Centre allow us to spot these early signs, and with early intervention, we can prevent further damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes bruxism?

Bruxism, also known as teeth grinding or clenching, often sneaks in during sleep or stressful moments. It can be triggered by tension, anxiety, misaligned bites, or even certain sleep disorders. At Ferry Dental Centre, we see it most commonly linked to daily stress and unconscious habits. The good news is that once we identify what’s behind it, we can help manage and minimise its effects before lasting damage sets in.

How often should I book a dental check-up?

Most patients benefit from a dental check-up every six months, but your dentist may recommend a different interval depending on your oral health. Regular visits help detect early signs of decay, gum disease, and other issues before they become serious.

What are the signs and symptoms of bruxism?

If you wake up with a sore jaw, tight facial muscles, or notice your teeth looking worn down, you might be grinding without realising it. Other clear signs include headaches around the temples, tooth sensitivity, or even chipped enamel. Our team at Ferry Dental Centre can spot early indicators of bruxism during a check-up and help you take action before discomfort turns into bigger dental problems.

What is included in a routine dental check-up?

Your 30-minute appointment includes a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, an oral cancer screening, and digital X-rays if needed. You will also receive personalised oral health advice and a treatment plan based on your exam findings.

How can I protect my child’s teeth from damage?

Children sometimes grind their teeth too, especially during growth spurts or while adjusting to new teeth coming in. To keep their smile safe, make sure your child’s dental visits at Ferry Dental Centre stay regular. We’ll monitor their bite development and, if needed, recommend a custom night guard to protect those developing teeth. Encouraging relaxation before bedtime and good sleep routines can also make a big difference.

What should I do if I have a specific dental concern?

If you have a particular issue—such as sensitivity, pain, or a chipped tooth—you can book a Focused Dental Consultation. This 20-minute appointment includes targeted assessment, any required X-rays, and a personalised treatment plan for that specific concern.

Can you spot gum disease during a dental check-up?

Absolutely. Your dentist will check for early signs of gum disease, such as bleeding, inflammation, and gum recession. Catching gum issues early prevents them from progressing into more serious conditions like periodontitis.

Do new patients need X-rays at their first appointment?

Yes. New patient examinations typically include X-rays to give your dentist a complete understanding of your oral health. This allows for accurate diagnosis and ensures your treatment plan is tailored to your needs.
