A regular dental check-up and clean is one of the simplest ways to look after your oral health. At Dentistree in Camden, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, and our team will gently remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone can't reach. We'll talk you through anything we find, answer your questions and help you plan any further care that's right for you.

Why regular check-ups matter

Most dental problems — including decay, gum disease and worn or cracked teeth — develop quietly and are easier to treat when found early. The Australian Dental Association generally recommends a check-up and clean at least every 6–12 months, though the right interval depends on your individual oral health and risk factors. Your dentist will recommend a schedule that suits you.

  • Comprehensive oral examination
  • Professional scale and clean
  • Gum (periodontal) health check
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Personalised oral hygiene advice
  • Discussion of any findings and options
