Frequently asked questions
We want to practice the best evidence based-dentistry and offer the best service to our patients. This means we recommend check-ups based upon every patient's individual needs. Some patients have lots of problems or are at risk of developing problems so we recognise that we need to see these people more often; every 6 months. Some patients have really healthy mouths with very little risk of problems emerging so we don't need to see these as often; possibly not for every 2 years or so. If your dentist says you don't need to come back for 12 months or more it means you're doing really well! It also means we can see other patients who may be in greater need of our support!
NHS dental services are commissioned to treat disease. If you don't have gum disease you don't need your teeth routinely cleaning. As such we don't offer this to everyone as we once may have done. If you like the feeling and cleanliness of a newly polished mouth but your gum health is otherwise good just ask and we can book you in with Elise for a private clean.
