Your dentist should suggest when you should have your next check-up based on how good your oral health is. It is important to attend for you dental check-ups based on what your dentist has recommended. This will help us prevent some treatments being needed in the future. As much as we would like to wave a magic wand and fix everything that presents to us we cannot do this. Failing to attend for your regular appointments can result in us not being able to give you options to save your teeth. Your dentist will only remove your teeth as a last resort so if you only attend when you are experiencing pain and are having problems you will make it difficult for the dentist to prevent this from happening. Loosing your teeth through gum disease and decayed teeth broken and beyond repair only happens when you do not attend for regular check-ups. We need you to work with us and attend your regular appointments so that we can prevent the worst case scenario and help you to keep your teeth and maintain a healthy mouth. The time between check-ups can vary from 3 months to 2 years, depending on how healthy your teeth and gums are and your risk of future problems. We see many nervous patients, unfortunately the dental surgery is not every ones favourite place but we can give you options. Speaking with your dentist is the first step. Remember that we are here to help you and that we can only do that if you work with us. Booking and attending your dental check up is the first step. We are currently accepting new patients on the NHS so give us a call and make that appointment
