General Dentistry

General dentistry focuses on keeping your teeth and gums feeling healthy and strong and functioning well. As an added bonus, a healthy smile can make you feel confident, especially in social situations. Whether you need a routine check up or expert care from our hygienist, our general dental treatments are here to help.

To maintain a healthy smile, we recommend that most patients visit the dentist for routine care twice a year. However, this is based on your individual case, so you may find that you are asked to book your next appointment for a longer or shorter time. We’re happy to discuss this with you – please ask if you have any questions.

During a routine check up, we examine your teeth, gums, and soft tissues of your mouth. We check for any signs of decay, gum disease or other issues, and carry out an oral cancer check as standard during every appointment. If necessary, we can also take digital x-rays to see what is happening under your gums. We also offer advice and tips to help you look after your healthy smile at home.

The best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy between your appointments is to maintain a good oral hygiene routine. Brush your teeth for two minutes twice a day, and use floss or interdental brushes to reach the areas between your teeth. We also recommend you eat a healthy, balanced diet, limiting sugary snacks and drinks.
