What Happens During Your Dental Checkup
- 1
Registration & Medical History
5 minutesYou'll check in and complete a brief health form covering allergies, medications, and previous dental work. This helps the dentist identify any risks specific to you.
- 2
Visual Examination
5–10 minutesThe dentist inspects your teeth, gums, tongue, and mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, discolouration, or abnormalities. They may use a small mirror and explorer tool.
- 3
X-rays (if Needed)
5 minutesDigital X-rays show cavities, bone loss, and hidden problems between teeth and below the gum line. Modern digital X-rays use minimal radiation—much less than a chest X-ray.
- 4
Professional Cleaning & Polishing
15–20 minutesA hygienist removes tartar and staining using an ultrasonic scaler and polishing paste. This removes plaque your toothbrush cannot reach.
- 5
Treatment Plan & Advice
5–10 minutesThe dentist discusses findings, shows you any problem areas on screen, and outlines next steps. You'll receive guidance on brushing, flossing, and dietary habits.
Who Should Get a Dental Checkup? (Spoiler: Almost Everyone)
Good candidates
- Adults who have not visited a dentist in 2+ years or are new to Singapore and need to establish dental care
- Parents booking their child's first checkup or routine visit (typically after age 3 or when first teeth erupt)
- Anyone with visible tooth discolouration, sensitivity, or gum bleeding—even if it seems minor
- Patients with recent CHAS card activation, insurance coverage, or employer dental plans who want to use their benefits
May need extra assessment
- History of severe gum disease or multiple cavities—may require deeper periodontal assessment and longer visit time
- Anxiety about dental procedures—discuss sedation or comfort options before booking to ensure clinic can accommodate
- Existing dental work (crowns, implants, bridges)—bring previous records or X-rays to help the dentist assess compatibility and condition
