FAQ
Find the answer To your question
How often should I have a check-up?
We recommend a check-up and professional clean every six months for most adults and children. Patients with active gum disease or high decay risk may benefit from more frequent visits — we personalise this recommendation for each patient.
Does a scale and clean hurt?
A professional scale and clean should not be painful. Some sensitivity is normal, particularly if there has been significant tartar build-up or gum inflammation. We work gently and can apply numbing gel to sensitive areas if needed.
What are white fillings made of?
We use composite resin — a tooth-coloured material that bonds directly to the tooth. It contains no mercury or amalgam and is both aesthetically pleasing and durable.
Can you detect oral cancer at a check-up?
Yes. We perform an oral cancer screening at every examination, checking the lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, and floor and roof of the mouth for any abnormal tissue changes. Early detection significantly improves outcomes.
What is a fissure sealant?
A fissure sealant is a thin protective coating applied to the grooved chewing surfaces of back teeth — the areas most vulnerable to decay. The application is quick and painless and can significantly reduce the rate of decay in children and young adults.
