Don’t let your smile
fade away

Regular check-ups are not just about maintaining a bright smile. They’re your first line of defence against tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. Did you know that many oral health conditions can be prevented with timely intervention?

During these appointments, your dentist can spot early problems, as well as provide professional cleaning, to remove plaque and tartar that your toothbrush can’t reach. Routine visits are often more affordable and less time-consuming than treating advanced dental problems.

Routine Dentistry FAQs

  • Ideally, you’ll visit the dentist every 6 months to a year. However, if your oral health history, means you require more frequent visits, our dentist will be able to advise you after your first consultation. More frequent visits may be necessary to keep any threatening dental issues at bay.

  • Our friendly hygienist will gently examine your teeth and gums, looking for any signs of trouble. You’ll receive a polish and have any plaque removed. Our dentist will then perform a thorough check-up, to ensure you have no hidden issues, then they’ll discuss any findings with you.

  • Routine dentistry appointments include a professional cleaning and a dental examination, which involves checking for cavities, gum disease, and other potential problems. Fluoride treatments may be provided to strengthen tooth enamel.

  • If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, especially when eating sweet, hot, or cold foods, it could be a red flag. Look out for visible holes or dark spots on your teeth and pay attention to any sudden sensitivity. Bad breath that won’t go away, or a lingering unpleasant taste in your mouth might also indicate decay. If you’re concerned, book a check-up with us.

  • While regular check-ups are essential for maintaining oral health, a toothache can be a clear signal that you need to see a dentist promptly. Please get in touch.

  • Yes, our dentist will check for gum disease during a routine dental appointment. This examination is a standard part of your regular check-up. Your gums will be inspected for signs of inflammation, redness, or swelling, as well as signs of bleeding, receding gums, or loose teeth – all potential indicators of gum problems. It’s important to get your gums seen by a dentist if you’re worried there’s a problem as early detection can prevent far greater problems down the line.

“Fantastic service!”

“Amy is a fantastic hygienist, my teeth feel so clean after my appointments with her. I’m not anxious but I imagine that her warm and friendly nature would put even the most anxious at ease. All the staff are very kind and helpful. I have been seeing Mr Archer for a number of years now (and would never change even when I moved away I would travel back to Melton for the dentist). Fantastic service. I find the monthly plan works really well for me.”
