Check ups

When you come to us for a routine dental check-up, we’ll examine your mouth, teeth and gums to make sure everything is as it should be. The two major dangers for teeth are tooth decay and gum disease, but if the signs are spotted early both of these can be treated more easily – or prevented altogether.

Fresh Breath Clinic

To keep your teeth and gums healthy and your breath fresh it’s very important to brush your teeth (and tongue!) correctly and floss regularly after brushing. Your dentist or hygienist will be happy to show you how to care for your teeth at home. Careful brushing will also remove plaque, the invisible film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. It’s also a good idea to avoid sugary foods and drinks as the sugar they contain can turn plaque to acid, which can cause tooth decay.

Mouth guards

If you take part in sports, especially contact sports such as rugby or football, we can provide you with a specially made mouth guard to cushion and protect your teeth and gums from injury. A mouth guard can even protect you against things like broken or dislocated jaws so it’s well worth talking to your dentist about this service.
