FAQs

How often should I have a dental check-up?

We usually recommend a check-up every 12 months, but this can vary depending on your oral health needs. Some patients benefit from more frequent visits, we’ll let you know what’s right for you.

What happens during a routine check-up?

A check-up typically includes an exam, a discussion about any concerns, and x-rays if needed. We’ll look for signs of decay, gum disease, and other potential issues and talk through anything we find.

Does a hygiene appointment hurt?

It shouldn’t. Our team uses a gentle approach and checks in with you throughout the clean. If you’re feeling sensitive or anxious, just let us know, we’re here to make you comfortable.

What can I do at home to maintain my oral health?

Brushing twice daily, flossing once a day, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding sugary snacks between meals all help keep your teeth healthy. We can offer personalised tips at your next appointment.
