A dental check-up – also known as a dental examination or consultation – is the foundation of good oral health. The General Dental Council (GDC) and NHS guidelines recommend attending a dental check-up at least every six months, though your dentist may advise more frequent visits depending on your individual needs.
During your check-up at our Bath dental practice, your dentist will:
Examine your teeth and gums for signs of decay, disease or damage
Perform a gum health assessment to screen for gingivitis and periodontal disease
Carry out oral cancer screening to identify any suspicious lesions or changes in soft tissue
Take digital dental X-rays where needed, providing sharp, detailed images with minimal radiation exposure
Discuss your concerns, answer your questions and recommend a personalised treatment plan
A routine check-up is a non-invasive but essential appointment. Early detection of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes – and helps you avoid more extensive (and costly) restorative procedures in the future.
Our Bath dental practice on Queen Square is centrally situated, close to the Royal Crescent, with easy access by public transport (within walking distance of Bath Spa railway station), and parking nearby at Charlotte Street, the Podium and Southgate. We welcome patients from across Bath and the surrounding area – including suburbs like Widcombe, Lansdown, Larkhall, Oldfield Park, Odd Down, Twerton, and Bear Flat.
As any dentist will tell you, prevention is far better than cure. Our dental hygienists are specialists in preventing the two most common oral diseases – tooth decay (dental caries) and gum disease (periodontal disease) – before they require invasive treatment.
Regular visits to our dental hygienist (at least twice a year) can reduce your risk of gingivitis, periodontitis and tooth loss. Professional cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) that brushing and flossing alone cannot eliminate.
Obviously a professional clean also leaves your teeth feeling noticeably cleaner and looking brighter, but this also supports your overall systemic health.
At Queen Square Dental, our preventative dentistry services also include:
Periodontal (gum) care – scaling and root planing to treat gum disease
Fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce sensitivity
Dental sealants to protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth, particularly in children
Oral hygiene instruction – bespoke guidance on brushing technique, flossing, interdental cleaning and diet
Digital dental X-rays for accurate diagnosis with reduced radiation
Our main aim as family dentists in Bath is to help people avoid having to need to restorative dentistry – that is having treatment to repair or replace damaged and decayed teeth.
However, when and if you do need our help you can expect us to use the most advanced techniques, and materials to restore your teeth as functionally and aesthetically as possible.
Some of the wide range of dental treatments we offer to an exceptionally high standard are:
