Why Choose Macduff Dental for Your Routine Examination?

Routine Check-Ups to Identify Problems Early

Our dentist will carry out a thorough routine examination to check your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. These regular check-ups help us identify any early signs of gum disease or other issues before they become more serious — and we’ll give you clear, practical advice to help keep your mouth healthy between visits.

Oral Cancer Screening

As part of your check-up, we’ll carry out an oral cancer screening by examining your mouth, tongue and soft tissues. This helps us identify any early signs of concern, giving you added peace of mind.

Jaw and Bite Check

If you have jaw pain, tension, or clicking, we will assess your jaw joints and bite as part of your routine check-up to help identify any concerns and advise on the most appropriate next steps.

Preventative Advice

Your dentist will offer tailored advice during your check-up to help prevent tooth decay and gum problems, with simple recommendations that fit your daily routine.

Your dentist may discuss how your diet and lifestyle may be affecting your oral health. We offer practical, supportive guidance on reducing tooth decay and gum disease risk, including advice on sugar intake, smoking, and everyday habits.

Personal Treatment Plan

If any treatment is required, we will provide a clear written treatment plan outlining what has been recommended and any costs involved. If no treatment is needed, we’ll simply advise when to return for your next routine examination.
