During a check up, the dentist will conduct a full extra and intra oral examination, palpating the soft tissues on the face and neck. The dentist will then move on too examining the teeth and gums, this will involve charting the current status of the teeth as well as taking radiographs if deemed necessary.
If you’re required to have a filling, the dentist will go through the different options of fillings available and the pricing. The dentist will give you the pros and cons for each material as well. Once you have decided on the filling you would like, the reception team will book you in for another appointment to have the treatment done. The dentist will inform you before the procedure what to expect, and prior to the treatment you will have signed a consent form outlining both the risks and benefits of the treatment you’re undertaking.
