You're listening to Way FM 105.3—your positive alternative!
Now, you know we love looking after our community, and today we’re chatting with someone who knows all about looking after your smile, Dr Bing from Innova Dental. Welcome back, Dr Bing!
Dr Bing:
Thanks Glenn, it’s always great to be here.
Glenn Hartas:
So let’s talk dental checkups. Now, I have to be honest—I used to be one of those “I'll only go when it hurts” kind of people. But you say that’s the worst time to come in, right?
Dr Bing:
Exactly, Glenn. By the time something hurts, it really means the problem has already progressed, whether it’s decay, gum disease, or even a cracked tooth. The beauty of regular examinations is that we can catch those issues before they become bigger—and avoid more expensive problems.
Glenn Hartas:
So it’s like… servicing your car before it breaks down?
Dr Bing:
Spot on! A dental checkup every 6 to 12 months is like your smile’s regular tune-up. We do a thorough check for early signs of trouble, give everything a clean to keep your mouth healthy and fresh.
Glenn Hartas:
There’s peace of mind in knowing everything’s in good shape too?
Dr Bing:
I think that’s the most important thing for most patients. We often have patients say, “I wish I came in sooner.” Whether it’s a small filling or a little gum inflammation, if we catch it early, it’s so much easier, faster, and more affordable to treat.
Glenn Hartas:
Love that—affordable confidence, right?
Dr Bing:
