When you visit the Kent Smile Studio for a check-up, you can expect more than just a quick look around. We like to assess the health of our patients’ mouth thoroughly, so we can keep an eye on any potential dental problems and spot the early signs of diseases like oral cancer. Also helping us in our quest to keep you happy, healthy and smiling is our state of the art CT scanner, which provides an in-depth view into even the smallest details of your mouth.
The 12 point dental health check
- How healthy do you consider your dental health?
- What particular aspects of your mouth and teeth are you worried about?
- Are you taking any medications and/or have any medical health conditions that may affect your dental health?
- Are you content with the aesthetic of your smiles; if not, what would you like to change?
- We then thoroughly check your teeth to check that they are strong and healthy.

- We examine the inside of your mouth, which includes the cheeks, tongue, roof and floor of the mouth and also the lips.
