General & Preventative

The ideal way to look after your oral health is through preventative dentistry. Seeing the dentist every six months can help spot problems before they progress. We can offer further treatment to curb issues before they become problematic, such as helping with grinding teeth and treating gum disease.

Which treatments can help me?

Bleeding gums?
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the UK. Inflamed and bleeding gums are the chief symptom of the condition. If you notice that your gums are bleeding when you brush your teeth, visit us for a hygiene appointment.

A hygienist can remove deposits of tartar and plaque, which are causing the disease to develop. Plus they can give you great tips on how to reduce the chance of the disease appearing again.

Toothache?
Increased sensitivity to temperature and discomfort when you eat are signs that your tooth may have a cavity. If you are noticing tooth pain, it’s worth arranging an appointment. X-rays and examinations can help us check if there is any decay. Cavities and dental caries are treatable and may need a filling to repair damage. For more complicated cases, you may need root canal treatment.

Nervous patients

We fully understand that coming to the dentist may make patients nervous. Dental phobia is incredibly common, but it doesn’t have to be a barrier preventing you from getting the care that you need. We do all we can to help debunk any misconceptions about dental care, talking you through any concerns and making sure that you are always in the loop throughout your treatment. We don’t hide behind medical terminology here and believe that keeping the dialogue open benefits both you, as the patient, and us.
