When you see a dentist privately you pay for the time used. A private check up is just that , it is to check the health of your oral tissues, take x rays or impressions , if necessary , and to discuss your oral health and possible treatment needs.

A straight forward private check up will be fifteen to twenty minutes, a new patient check up at least thirty up to an hour.

A hygiene appointment will be anything from twenty minutes to an hour and , depending on the patients oral health , many appointments may be needed.

As well the the physical cleaning , in fact the most important part , is advice and demonstration of cleaning techniques and aids , so the patient can improve their oral health. Scaling and cleaning does very little to improve oral health , it's what the patient does at home that makes the massive difference.

So no , a private check up will not include a thorough hygiene and oral education treatment.

It certainly wasn't at the private practice I considered using some years ago (which we discussed on here)! That was one of the reasons I decided not to go there again. The other reason overlaps with your recent reply on another thread......
