Check ups

When you attend an appointment with an Oasis dentist you will receive more than ‘just a check up’. Our dental team will perform a thorough and comprehensive examination following a ten-point process (see below). 

We want to make sure that you receive the best that modern preventive dental care has to offer.  Healthy gums and teeth should be attainable for most people, so it’s really important that you visit your dentist regularly. Regular visits mean your dentist can monitor your oral health effectively, log any changes, and give you advice on how to prevent problems in the future. 
 
At Oasis we’re committed to helping our patients improve their oral health, but we can’t do it on our own.

Check ups

We need you to:

• Visit us regularly  • Ask questions
• Tell us what you want  • Follow our advice

Gum Disease

Did you know?

• An amazing 90% of the population has some form of gum disease;
  and the majority of people don’t know they’ve got it!
• Many people think it’s normal for their gums to bleed when they brush their teeth… but
  it’s not!
• In 1998 more than 1 in 30 people in the UK had no natural teeth.

Healthy gums look and feel great – unhealthy gums spoil even the most dazzling smile!

To maintain and improve your gum health it’s important that your gums are checked regularly.  Your dentist will decide how often you should attend, in order to ensure that you receive treatment and preventive advice tailored specifically to your needs.

Remember; if there is anything you don’t understand when you visit your dentist, please ask questions, and keep asking until you fully understand.
