New Patients FAQs
What should I expect at my first dental appointment?
Your first dental appointment typically involves a comprehensive examination, including a review of your medical and dental history and X-rays. Your dentist will discuss your oral health and treatment options.
How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up?
The recommended frequency of dental check-ups is usually every six months. However, this can vary depending on your individual oral health needs.
What should I do in case of a dental emergency?
If you are in pain or have any swelling, you can reach us on 02393 880913 to arrange an emergency appointment.
How can I improve my oral health and prevent tooth decay?
To maintain good oral health, brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, use mouthwash, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and hygiene appointments. A balanced diet and avoiding excessive sugary foods and drinks is also important, along with any medication and lifestyle choices. Dental sealants can also help protect your teeth, especially in children. Make sure you discuss this with your dentist at your next appointment.
What are the signs and symptoms of gum disease?
Gum disease, or periodontitis, is a serious infection of the gums and bone that support your teeth. Symptoms include red, swollen, or tender gums, bad breath, loose teeth, and pain when chewing.
What is the best toothbrush for oral health?
Choosing the right toothbrush is essential for good oral hygiene. Look for a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head to reach all areas of your mouth effectively. Electric toothbrushes can also be beneficial.
