General Dentistry

I recommend getting a dental examination every 6-12m to ensure your teeth are being maintained to a high level I’m nervous for my first appointment, what will happen? No need to be nervous as you will be looked after with the up most care by all of my team and I. Most of the appointment is a casual chat where we can get to know one another. We then will take a look in your mouth and recording everything we see. We may take x-rays and/or professional photos then I can discuss with you everything I see.

A ‘hole' in your tooth is caused by tooth decay which is a common problem caused by consuming sugar too frequently and not brushing with fluoride containing toothpaste twice daily. The best way to prevent tooth decay is to limit sugar intake to meal times only and to ensure proper brushing techniques. We can discuss this in more detail at your initial appointment.

Gum disease is another common problem resulting in your gums bleeding, receding and swelling. Severe forms of gum disease can cause tooth movements and ultimately tooth loss. Gum disease can be prevented with proper brushing techniques, regular hygiene appointments and avoiding bad habits like smoking. In your first appointment we will screen for gum problems and then we can explain the best way to treat and prevent any forms of gum disease
