Starting the Year With a Healthy Smile: A Simple Dental Checklist for 2026

The new year brings fresh routines and renewed goals. It’s also an ideal time to check in on your dental health. At iCare Dental Lower Hutt, we believe that looking after your smile sets the tone for your wellbeing in 2026 and beyond.

Below is a simple checklist to help you stay on top of oral hygiene, address overdue treatments, and take care of your smile with confidence.

Book Your Routine Dental Check-Up

One of the most effective ways to maintain good oral health is to see your dentist regularly. Routine check-ups allow us to identify any potential concerns early and offer support before problems become complex.

Whether it has been six months or a few years since your last visit, our dental clinic in Lower Hutt is here when you're ready.

We also keep emergency appointments available every day for toothaches, broken teeth or other urgent needs. If you’re dealing with a dental emergency, call us, we’re here to help when it matters most.

Get Your Teeth Professionally Cleaned - Regularly

Daily brushing and flossing are essential, but they can’t remove hardened plaque or tartar on their own. Booking a hygiene appointment with one of our experienced dental hygienists in Lower Hutt gives you a deeper clean and helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath.

It’s a simple step that makes a big difference.

You can easily book teeth cleaning with us online or by calling the practice.

Follow Through on Treatments You’ve Been Putting Off

If you’ve been meaning to complete dental treatment, now is the time to start. Your dentist will talk you through your options and help prioritise what needs to be done, one step at a time.

We offer a full range of treatment options at iCare Dental, including:

• Dental crowns

• Dental fillings

• Root canal treatment

• Dental bridges

• Dentures and partial dentures

• Dental implant crowns

• Extractions, including wisdom teeth extractions

• Emergency appointments for urgent pain or accidents

• ACC dental treatments for approved cases

Whatever your needs, we’ll support you with care and clarity.
