How does a regular periodic check-up prevent dental problems?

A regular check-up helps prevent major dental problems by detecting problems in time. Often, dental problems arise without you having any immediate symptoms, such as small cavities or gingivitis. During the check-up, we can find these problems early and treat them to prevent bigger problems. This prevents treatments such as root canal treatments or tooth extraction. So regular checkups are very important for healthy teeth in the long term.

What are the most common problems discovered during an inspection?

During a routine check-up, we often encounter the following issues:

Cavities: Small cavities in the enamel can grow larger without treatment.
Gum inflammation (gingivitis): This often becomes noticeable only when the inflamed gums start to bleed.
Receding gums: This can lead to exposed tooth roots and sensitivity.
Tooth wear: Teeth can wear down more quickly, for example, due to grinding.
Tartar: This forms from a buildup of plaque and can only be removed by the dentist.

We can detect these problems early during a dental check-up and treat them promptly to prevent more significant complications.

How does a biannual check-up contribute to a radiant smile?

By having your teeth checked twice a year, you can keep your smile clean and healthy. Minor issues, such as plaque or cavities, are addressed immediately. This prevents tooth discoloration or gum inflammation. Additionally, during the check-up, we provide tips on how to best care for your teeth.

Is a check-up every six months really necessary?

Yes, it’s important to come in for a check-up every six months. Dental problems often develop slowly and without clear symptoms. A biannual check-up also helps remove tartar and plaque buildup.

Is a check-up different for children than for adults?

Yes, dental check-ups for children are slightly different. For children, we not only check the health of their teeth but also monitor the development of their teeth and jaw. We ensure there is enough space for permanent teeth and provide advice on oral hygiene. For young children, we make the check-up fun and approachable to ensure they visit the dentist without fear. We also discuss proper brushing techniques with both children and parents.

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. As a Physician, I need dental services that are excellent from a technical and client service standpoint. As well, it is a challenge for expats in Den Haag to identify optimal dental services. I met Dr Azzi Alshangi in 2024 when he had been working part time at another dental clinic, and his technical and social skills were so outstanding that I decided to follow him when he established his practice. On my first visit in August 2026, the reception staff (Sandra, Sam) were polite and respectful, and the intake services of Milan, a Dental Assistant, were thorough and outstanding.  Dr. Alshangi was as professional and informative as in 2024. From a medical and expat perspective, I cannot recommend this dental clinic enough.

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. Ik ben geen patiënt bij deze praktijk maar liep wel met pijn in mijn reeds gewortelkanaalde kies met kroon erop. Ik kon hier binnen 1 dag terecht om de ergste pijn te laten verhelpen. Zeer kundig met behoud van mijn kroon zijn er kanalen schoongemaakt. Volgende week maandag deel 2. Erg prettig geholpen in een mooie praktijk. Fijn kunnen communiceren via Whatsapp.
