About this treatment

An intake or check-up at the dentist is an important step in maintaining your oral health. It is not only a moment to identify possible problems, but also to receive advice on preventive care. Regular check-ups help to detect dental diseases at an early stage. Moreover, it contributes to maintaining a healthy smile in the long term. During this appointment, various matters are discussed:
