FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How often should I have a dental check-up?

A dental check-up once a year is generally recommended, together with one or two teeth-cleaning appointments depending on your risk of tooth decay and the health of your gums.

Does a scale and polish hurt?

A scale and polish is generally well tolerated. If your teeth or gums are sensitive, local anaesthetic can be offered.

How long does a dental check-up take?

Allow 30 to 60 minutes, depending on whether you are having a routine check-up or a full assessment with X-rays.

Are dental X-rays dangerous?

We use low-dose digital radiography, which involves very little exposure. X-rays are only taken when they are clinically useful for diagnosis.

How is tooth decay treated?

The tooth decay is removed and the tooth is restored with a metal-free, tooth-coloured filling matched as closely as possible to your enamel. The earlier a cavity is treated, the simpler the treatment is likely to be.
