Preventative Dentistry

At LiveWell Dental, we believe prevention is the key to long-term oral health. That’s why we encourage regular check-up and clean appointments — typically every six months — to keep your teeth and gums in their best shape and catch potential issues early.

During your preventative visit, our friendly dental team will:

• Examine your teeth, gums, and mouth: We look for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, enamel wear, and other concerns that may not yet be causing discomfort.

• Screen for oral cancer: As part of your check-up, we also examine the soft tissues of your mouth and tongue for any early signs of oral cancer or other abnormalities — early detection is key.

• Perform a professional scale and clean: This removes built-up plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home can’t always reach, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease.

• Polish your teeth: This step smooths the surface of your teeth, making it harder for plaque to accumulate and leaving you with a fresh, clean feeling.

• Provide tailored advice: We’ll talk with you about your at-home oral care routine, diet, and habits, and give you personalised tips to help maintain a healthy smile between visits.
   

Regular preventative care not only protects your oral health but also helps you avoid more complex and costly treatments in the future.

Whether you're in Carrum, Patterson Lakes, Bonbeach, Seaford, Chelsea, Edithvale, or Aspendale, our experienced team is here to support your dental health with gentle, professional care. Book your check-up and clean today!
