Most patients attend the dentist for a routine check up every 6 months. We encourage patients to come regularly as it allows us to identify problems at any early stage before they become too much of an issue or begin to cause pain. This allows us to sort out issues promptly and often means we can avoid more complicated and extensive treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I visit the dentist for a routine examination?
What is a hygienist and do I need to see one?
A Dental hygienist is a dental practitioner that specialises specifically in sailing and polishing teeth.
Healthy teeth and gums are essential to ensure you keep your teeth for the rest of your life. We offer hygiene service here at Dental Perfection to provide you the best possible knowledge of maintaining good oral hygiene and a healthy mouth. We believe it is beneficial for all patients to see a hygienist on a regular basis, however this is personal preference and something that is a decision that is always at our patients own accord.
Can I get seen today/tomorrow? What about Emergencies?
We always intend to see our registered patients suffering serious pain within 24 hours of contacting us. Where possible we will also see unregistered patients on a private basis, this involves a £40.00 emergency consultation fee.
We set aside emergency slots during each day for dental emergencies; please call us as early as possible to book an appointment.
