Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining oral health at every age. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive care for the whole family, from a child's first visit around age one to specialised geriatric dental care. Many patients wonder about cleaning frequency, types of cleanings available, and what exactly happens during a dental exam. Our professional team offers all four types of dental cleanings: prophylaxis cleaning, scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, and gross debridement. While twice-yearly visits are common, we tailor appointment schedules to your specific needs—some patients require more frequent care, while others with excellent oral health might visit less often. Remember, your regular dental exam typically includes a thorough cleaning, examination, and occasional x-rays to ensure complete oral health assessment.
Your child should have their first dental visit when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend establishing early dental care habits. Initial visits focus on getting your child comfortable with the dental environment, examining emerging teeth, and providing parents with guidance on proper oral hygiene for infants and toddlers. A child's first dental cleaning typically occurs between 12-36 months, once most primary teeth have erupted.
For most patients, we recommend dental exams and cleanings every six months. However, this frequency may vary based on your individual oral health needs. Patients with excellent oral hygiene and low risk factors may only need annual visits, while those with gum disease, rapid tartar build-up, or certain medical conditions might require more frequent appointments every 3-4 months. Your dentist at London Dental Specialists will recommend the optimal schedule for your specific situation.

To prepare for your dental exam and cleaning at London Dental Specialists:
Regular dental exams at London Dental Specialists are crucial for preventive care, even when you're not experiencing any obvious issues. These routine visits allow us to detect problems in their earliest stages when they're easiest and least expensive to treat. Many dental conditions, including decay, gum disease, and oral cancer, can develop without noticeable symptoms until they're advanced. Regular exams also include professional cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't eliminate, helping prevent future problems and maintaining optimal oral health.
At London Dental Specialists, we offer both NHS and private dental services. The main differences include:
Both options provide clinically necessary care, but private services may offer enhanced convenience and comfort options.
