Prevention is Better than Cure

Gone are the days when it was accepted that most people would lose their teeth during middle age, or even earlier. Teeth really can be made to last for life if they are given proper care.

My Practice is unique in having one Therapist and one Hygienist to one Dentist. Most adults find it beneficial to visit the hygienist several times a year.

Oral hygiene is an essential part of your dental care and preservation of your teeth. We actively work with you to ensure not only your teeth stay healthy but you gums as well. Without healthy gums, and bone, the teeth have no support and in extreme cases tooth loss can occur.

By following our brushing and dietary advice you will prolong the lifespan of your teeth and ensure that your mouth stays as healthy as possible giving you a confident smile.

• Use a fluoride toothpaste
  
• Avoid too many sugary snacks and drinks
  
• Chew sugar free gum after meals
  

We always welcome new patients as they provide us with new challenges. As a new patient your initial appointment will be for 1½ hours which will give us time to thoroughly examine your teeth, take any appropriate x-rays and get to know you and your dental needs. One of my Practice consultants will discuss the specific findings of my examination with you at some length. She will also be able to inform you of the timing and subsequent costs of any dental treatment you may require. We will also follow up in writing all our findings to clarify anything that may have arisen from your initial visit.

The first New Patient appointment for consultation and routine x-rays together with a follow up letter detailing our findings, recommended alternatives and costs, is completely free.

Beautiful Teeth

You may be perfectly happy with your teeth, but if not there are many things we can do, perhaps by altering the shape of the teeth, or changing their colour.

Relief from Fear and Pain

Fortunately, visiting the dentist is no longer the worrying and often painful experience it used to be. However, please do not hesitate to speak to us should you be particularly concerned.

Children

Your children´s teeth need to be cared for from an early age because prevention is so much better than cure. Ideally, they need to make their first visit from the age of 2 years. We take special care to make the experience an enjoyable one. If they do need treatment, it will be completely painless. All children leave the practice with a smile having had a happy experience - this has to be seen to be believed.

Come and watch a Children Exam Session - it is never too early to start…… These sessions are specifically set up for Children and are arranged outside of term time.

British Dental Health Foundation will give you more information on dental heath.
