I have full dentures, why do I need to come for a checkup?
When your dentist looks in your mouth, he is not just looking at the dentures. Sadly, the occurrence of oral cancer, cancer of the mouth, has risen in recent years and unfortunately, it is a difficult cancer to treat. However, if caught early, the chances of treatment being successful are greatly increased. You dentist will look around your mouth when you attend for a routine checkup. We believe for most patients, that it is necessary for full denture patients to attend only yearly. Additionally, your NHS registration, if you are registered under the NHS lapses automatically under NHS rules after fifteen months. Having a checkup every twelve months always ensures continuity of registration.
