Why is a regular dental check-up important for your teeth?

A routine dental check-up is essential for maintaining healthy teeth. During a check-up at our practice in The Hague, we can identify potential problems with your teeth and gums in time. This helps prevent major dental issues and costly treatments. Even if you’re not experiencing pain, a check-up can uncover hidden problems you might not notice yourself.

What happens during a routine check-up?

During a dental check-up, the dentist examines various aspects of your oral health. This involves several steps:

Examining Teeth and Molars
We check for cavities, tooth wear, or other issues affecting your teeth or molars.
Assessing Gum Health
We inspect your gums for inflammation or conditions such as gum recession.
Taking X-Rays
X-rays may be taken to detect hidden problems, such as cavities between teeth or issues with tooth roots.
Advice and Preventive Measures
We provide advice to maintain a healthy mouth and can apply fluoride to offer extra protection for your teeth.

Should i come in even if i have no dental problems?

Yes, even if you have no complaints, regular check-ups are crucial. Many dental issues, such as cavities or gum inflammation, only cause symptoms when it’s too late. Regular check-ups help prevent more significant problems.

Prevent major dental issues with timely check-ups

It’s better to visit our practice for regular check-ups to address small problems immediately. This prevents minor issues, such as a small cavity, from turning into bigger problems like a root canal treatment or even tooth loss. Regular visits to the dentist ensure your teeth remain in good condition and help avoid complications.

Why is it important to detect gum problems early?

Gum problems often don’t cause pain in the early stages but can lead to significant issues later. If untreated, you may develop periodontitis, which can loosen your teeth. Regular check-ups allow us to detect and treat gum problems early.

What tips can you follow between check-ups to keep your teeth healthy?

To maintain healthy teeth between check-ups, follow these tips:

Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Use floss or interdental brushes to remove plaque and food particles between teeth.
Limit sugar and avoid acidic drinks.
Drink plenty of water to rinse your mouth.
Consider using a fluoride mouthwash.

These tips will help keep your teeth healthy until your next dental check-up.

 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.
