A. Yes, our clinicians are extremely gentle and are regularly commended on our Facebook and Google reviews for the comforting and pain-free service they provide.

Q. How soon can I get an appointment?

A. Generally we're able to see patients within a fortnight at the latest for routine dental care or within the same day for management of dental pain.

Q. Do you see emergency patients?

Q. Why are dental X-rays needed?

A. They are necessary to diagnose issues with teeth and gums, check for changes over time, and monitor overall oral health. Most dental disease goes undetected until it has advanced a lot, at which point treatment might be invasive or require the removal of teeth.

Q. What are the benefits of having regular check-ups?

A. Regular dental checkup and X-Rays allows for early detection and prevention of dental decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.

Q. How can I improve my oral hygiene?

A. The most basic advice is to brush twice daily with an electric toothbrush, clean between your teeth with floss or Waterpik and keep sugary and sticky foods to a minimum, opting for healthier alternatives such as apples.

Q. Does using mouthwash really help?

A. On a day-to-day basis, I would not recommend using mouthwash as it interacts and inhibits toothpaste; however, at times when you are not brushing your teeth, i.e. after lunch, mouthwash can provide some protection against dental disease.
