Top 10 Questions to Ask at Your Next Dental Check-Up (And Why They Matter)
At Manor Dental Hull, we believe informed patients make healthier decisions. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, asking the right questions during your check-up can make a big difference to your long-term oral health.
Here are the top 10 questions to ask your Hull dentist — and why they matter.
-
How is my overall dental health?
Start by understanding the full picture. This includes your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral hygiene. It helps identify issues early before they become costly problems.
-
Am I brushing and flossing correctly?
It sounds basic — but most people get at least one step wrong. A quick demo from your hygienist can improve your daily routine.
-
Do I need any dental treatments right now?
Your dentist may spot the early signs of cavities, gum recession, or enamel wear — even if nothing feels wrong yet.
-
What can I do to improve my oral hygiene at home?
Personalised advice from your Manor Dental team can help you choose the right toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, and techniques for your needs.
-
Are there any signs of gum disease?
Gum disease is one of the most common — and preventable — dental problems. Catching it early can save your smile.
-
How do my lifestyle habits affect my oral health?
If you smoke, drink tea or coffee, enjoy sugary snacks, or grind your teeth at night — let us know. We’ll give tailored advice to help protect your teeth.
-
Do I need any dental X-rays?
X-rays help spot issues beneath the surface. Ask when they’re necessary and how often we recommend them for you.
-
What’s the safest way to whiten my teeth?
Professional whitening is much safer and more effective than shop-bought kits. Let us explain your best options.
-
Are there any warning signs I should watch out for?
Learn what to look for between visits — like sensitivity, bleeding gums, jaw pain, or persistent bad breath.
-
How often should I book a check-up?
The average is every 6 months; however, some patients need more frequent visits due to health conditions or gum concerns. We’ll create a personalised schedule for you.
