How often should I visit the dentist for a routine examination?

We recommend an examination on a 6 or 12 monthly basis.
Regular check ups allow for your dentist to identify and highlight problems early. This will allow easier treatment which is less invasive, less costly and often pain free.
Remember dental decay and gum disease is irreversible without help and intervention it will only progress.

What is a hygienist and do I need to see one?

Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in the UK. Our highly trained Dental team comprises of Hygenist’s who have worked in specialist practice, tutored other Hygenist’s or work in Dental Hospitals.
Seeing a Hygenist regularly will help preserve and protect your teeth and gums.
