Why do I need to see a dentist?
Prevention is always better than cure so it’s important for us to take a look at your teeth and gums at least twice a year. We can spot potential problems before they get a chance to get worse. Some issues, such as a cavity, can result in more costly treatment needed further down the line to treat properly if they are left.
Your dentist can also spot if your brushing routine at home needs some improvement. You’ll receive plenty of guidance on how to clean properly and protect your smile from future issues.

What happens during a dental health examination?
We begin your dental health examination with an informal discussion. We ask you if you’ve had any problems since your last visit and if you have any concerns about your oral health. We also ask you a little about your diet and lifestyle habits, and your oral hygiene routine at home.
The main part of your appointment is a thorough examination and assessment of your teeth, gums and mouth. We look for any signs of decay, infection and a misaligned bite. We also always carry out an oral cancer check.
If we find anything that requires treatment, we create your treatment plan, including the best course of action and expected costs. To finish, we give you tailored advice on how to keep your teeth and gums in the best condition at home, including the best cleaning techniques and diet and lifestyle tips.

You should aim to see your dentist for a check-up twice a year. However, you may not need to see us every six months and your dentist will let you know when you need to come back for your next check-up. If you have any problems between check-ups please phone us to arrange an earlier appointment.
