Cheak-Up & Clean Frenchs Forest
Ensure your oral health with a routine check-up to maintain a healthy, happy smile.
Just like you service your car to keep it running smoothly, your smile also needs regular care. At Blue House Dental in Frenchs Forest, we believe prevention is the key to long-term oral health. That’s why we recommend a check-up and clean every six months – a simple way to maintain a healthy smile and overall wellbeing.
What to expect from a dental check-up
Whether you’re returning after some time away from the dentist or visiting us for the first time, our team is here to make you feel comfortable. At every check-up, we focus on your health, explain each step in simple terms, and ensure you feel supported throughout your visit.
During each check-up and clean appointment, you will receive the following:
An examination of each tooth
A periodontal evaluation
X-rays (both OPG and bite-wing)
Oral cancer screening
We’ll also provide practical tips on brushing and flossing to keep your smile in top condition between visits.
Why regular check-ups matter
Seeing your dentist twice a year helps us detect and treat problems early – before they become costly or complex. Routine visits also keep your teeth and gums healthy, ensuring you enjoy confidence in your smile for years to come.
Many health funds cover preventive check-ups with little to no out-of-pocket costs, so it’s worth checking your extras cover. Staying up-to-date is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to protect your oral health.
Oral hygiene made simple
Oral hygiene appointments are an excellent way to freshen up your smile, while helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy. We generally recommend you book an oral hygiene appointment at the same time as your regular examination.
Scaling and polishing
Our hygienists gently clean your teeth by removing hardened plaque (tartar or calculus) that brushing alone can’t reach. Left untreated, tartar can irritate the gums and increase the risk of gum disease. After scaling, your teeth are polished to remove surface stains, leaving your smile fresh, smooth, and noticeably brighter.
Personalised oral care advice
Good oral health starts at home. Our hygienists take the time to show you effective brushing and flossing techniques, highlighting any areas you might be missing. Many people find flossing tricky, but with the right tips, it becomes much easier to keep your teeth and gums healthy between visits.
Gum disease treatments
If we spot early signs of gum disease, more frequent hygiene visits can help reverse the condition. Regular scaling and polishing may be enough to clear infection and support healing. In more advanced cases, a deeper clean – known as scaling and root planing – is performed beneath the gumline. This removes bacteria and smooths the root surfaces, helping gums reattach and making it harder for plaque to return.
EMS AIRFLOW® technology
For an even more advanced clean, we use the EMS AIRFLOW® system. This cutting-edge technology gently removes biofilm, stains, and bacteria using a controlled stream of air, water, and fine powder. It’s ideal for patients with braces, implants, sensitive teeth, or periodontal concerns. With adjustable settings and warm water for comfort, AIRFLOW® provides a precise, pain-free clean that preserves your natural tooth structure while delivering outstanding results.
Frequently asked questions
Most people should have a dental check-up twice per year. This is in order for your dentist to keep an eye on your dental health, prevent issues from occurring, and treat any problems that arise immediately.
If you are having issues such as dental pain and wish to be seen sooner, don’t hesitate to make a booking with your dentist as soon as possible.
In Australia, the cost of a regular dental check-up will vary based on a number of factors.
Typically, a check-up will include an oral exam, x-rays, and cleaning from a dental hygienist. Your appointment may cost more if you require additional services, or less if you don’t need all of the above.
Most private health insurance companies will provide some level of rebate for dental check-ups, as they are considered preventative treatments. Check with your health fund provider, as you may be entitled to at least one gap-free check-up per year.
Your first dental check-up will typically be 45 minutes to an hour, as this includes your dentist taking a set of x-rays, doing an oral exam, and a professional clean.
A check-up with your regular dentist will typically be 30-45 minutes.
To prepare for your dental appointment, brush and floss your teeth before visiting your dentist. You should also think about whether you have any questions for your dentist regarding your oral health, and be prepared to let them know if you have any issues you’d like to discuss, such as dental pain.
