An Oral Health Care Assessment (OHCA) is a simple but important check carried out by a dental professional to understand the overall health of your mouth. Instead of being a treatment, it’s more of a health review where we look closely at your teeth, gums, tongue, and other soft tissues. We also take into account your medical and dental history to get the full picture. If anything needs attention—such as a cleaning, a filling, or signs of infection—it will be highlighted during the assessment. As part of every OHCA, we also carry out an oral cancer screening to make sure any early warning signs are not missed.
An oral health assessment is the first step to maintaining a healthy smile and preventing future dental problems.
We’ll come to your home, nursing home, or hospital bed with all the necessary diagnostic equipment to carry out a comprehensive and comfortable oral health assessment.
A highly experienced member of our team will conduct a detailed oral examination and record a comprehensive medical history. They will then provide expert guidance on the findings, guaranteeing you feel confident and fully informed about the quality of care and any resulting recommendations.
We administer a gentle local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area, ensuring you experience little to no pain during the procedure. The tooth is then meticulously cleaned and the restoration is completed with careful attention to your comfort.
Following your treatment, we’ll provide you with clear instructions on how to look after your mouth to ensure proper healing and long-term success. We’ll also advise you on diet, recommended cleaning routines, and when to schedule your follow-up care.
