Check-ups and hygiene

A regular check-up is the cheapest dentistry there is. We look at every tooth, your gums and the soft tissues of your mouth, and take X-rays only when they're needed.

A scale and polish removes the hardened plaque that brushing can't shift. It's how gum disease is stopped early, and it leaves your mouth feeling properly clean.

We'll tell you how often you need to come back, and send you a reminder well before your next visit is due.

Who it's for

  • Anyone who hasn't had a check-up in the last year
  • Gums that bleed when you brush
  • New patients who'd like a fresh start
  • Children, free on the NHS until they turn 18

Common questions

How often should I have a check-up?
It depends on your mouth. Some patients need to be seen every six months, others can go longer. Your dentist will recommend an interval that suits you.
Is a scale and polish painful?
Most people find it comfortable. If your gums are sensitive, tell us and we'll take it gently.
Is it covered by the care plan?
Yes. The Mace Dental Care Plan covers examinations, X-rays and hygiene visits for a monthly fee.
