The Importance of Regular Dental Check-Ups
A dental check-up is a key part of maintaining oral health, helping detect concerns before they become more serious. At Graham Johnson Dental Surgery, patients receive thorough assessments, so teeth and gums can stay in good condition. From monitoring existing dental work to identifying early signs of cavities or gum disease, regular visits provide ongoing care tailored to individual needs.
With fully equipped clinics in Newcastle, Beresfield, and Jesmond, appointments include a full examination, professional cleaning and personalised advice. Routine check-ups can help prevent common dental issues, allowing for early intervention when necessary. We also provide white fillings, cosmetic dentistry, root canal treatment, wisdom teeth removal, gum disease treatment, TMJ treatment and dentures.

What Happens During a Dental Check-Up
A check-up is more than just an examination—it’s an opportunity to monitor oral health, address concerns and plan for future care. Each visit includes:
- A full oral examination to check for cavities, gum disease and potential dental concerns.
- Professional cleaning, removing plaque and tartar build-up to support gum health.
- A review of previous dental work to check fillings, crowns and other treatments remain in good condition.
- Personalised treatment planning, providing recommendations based on individual needs.
Most people benefit from a check-up every six months, although this may vary depending on personal oral health. Regular visits can help reduce the likelihood of more complex treatments in the future.
Preventive Dental Care is Essential
Regular dental check-ups play a crucial role in preventing oral health issues before they develop into more serious conditions. Many dental problems, such as tooth decay, gum disease and enamel erosion, can progress without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. By attending routine examinations, dentists can identify concerns early and recommend appropriate treatments before more extensive procedures are required.
Preventive care involves more than just an examination. It includes professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and personalised advice on maintaining oral hygiene at home. These steps help reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease, ensuring long-term oral health.
Skipping regular check-ups can lead to undetected dental issues, which may cause discomfort and require more complex treatment in the future. Staying proactive with dental visits not only protects teeth and gums but also supports overall health. Routine appointments help maintain a healthy, confident smile for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I visit the dentist?
For long-term oral health, we recommend you visit the dentist every 6 months for a dental examination. Early detection of decay or disease may reduce the length, scope and cost of treatment in the long run. We also advise you have your teeth cleaned and a fluoride application done every 6 to 12 months to maintain good oral health.
Like a lot of people, I have a real fear of visiting the dentist. Is there anything you can do to help me with this?
You are not alone. It is common for patients to fear visiting the dentist. To help alleviate these anxieties our caring staff strive to create a calm and relaxing environment within our practice. We also offer patients the option of using happy gas and the 'green whistle' for pain relief and relaxation.
When should I begin to bring my child for their first visit?
Usually at ages 2½-3 years is a good start.
