Dr. Niall Vallely Explains The Routine Checkup Procedure At 3Dental
Why Are Routine Dental Checkups Important?
Dr. Niall Vallely Explains The Routine Checkup Procedure At 3Dental
Routine dental checkups (also referred to as dental examinations) are important because not only do they give you the peace of mind that all is well in your mouth but also help nip any potential dental problems in the bud.
Long term this not only reduces the need for longer more difficult dental procedures but will also help save you money on future dental treatments.
In some cases we will recommend patients have their teeth cleaned after a checkup.

A Detailed Dental Checkup
Our dentists undertake a detailed examination of your dental health including checking for cavities.
This is done using a wide variety of advanced equipment. We will discuss any potential issues that we find with you.
It is very important to maintain regular visits to the dentist to avoid major problems and to maintain your oral health.

Commonly Asked Questions
How often should I see a dentist for a checkup?
It is recommended to visit a dentist for a checkup every 6 months, and no less than once a year at a minimum.
This allows the dentist to identify any problems and prevent future problems from happening!
Is dental check ups covered by insurance?
It depends on the insurance policy you have. You will need to check with your insurance company.
How long does a routine dental check-up appointment take?
A routine check-up is usually over within about 10 minutes. Usually, we will look at your teeth and gums to look for signs of decay or infection.
We often will take an x-ray or two to look more closely. It won’t hurt, and afterwards, the dentist will wait to talk to you about any treatment you may need.
Can bad teeth be fixed?
It’s our job as dentists to try to fix bad teeth. We always want to save teeth and usually we can. We can repair decay (fillings), gum disease (hygiene), nerve damage (root canals) or crooked teeth (braces).
Sometimes a very broken down tooth is beyond repair. But in these cases after an extraction, we can often put in an implant.
Is dental teeth cleaning necessary?
Yes, it’s very important. Our hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums. This not only makes your mouth feel fresher but helps prevent tooth decay and gum problems (periodontal disease) which can lead to tooth loss.
Normally, we recommend a cleaning twice a year.
Can I get a routine dental checkup near me?
Yes! We provide routine dental checkups in each of our clinics - Dublin (Red Cow), Dublin (Aungier Street), Limerick and Galway.
We look forward to welcoming you in person soon :)
