Regular checkups are the simplest way to keep your family’s teeth healthy — and to catch small problems before they become big ones. If it’s been a while, here’s what to expect when you visit Harlow Dental in Surry Hills.

A friendly welcome

Every visit starts with a chat. We’ll ask about any concerns — sensitivity, bleeding gums, or a tooth that’s been bothering you — and about your general health, since it affects your mouth too.

A thorough examination

Your dentist checks each tooth for decay, inspects your gums, and reviews existing fillings or crowns. We also screen for early signs of gum disease and oral cancer, which are far easier to treat when caught early.

A professional clean

Even with great brushing, plaque and tartar build up in spots a toothbrush can’t reach. A professional scale and polish leaves your teeth feeling fresh and smooth.

Care for the whole family

  • Little ones: gentle, unhurried visits that help children feel comfortable at the dentist.
  • Teens: guidance on orthodontics and looking after teeth around braces.
  • Adults: preventive care plus advice on whitening or restorative options.

A simple plan

Before you leave, we’ll explain anything we found in plain language and agree on next steps — often just a reminder to come back in six months.
