Frequently Asked Questions
If a tooth chips, book an appointment so we can assess it and protect the area. Keep the piece if possible, avoid very hot, cold or hard foods and keep the area clean. Small chips can often be smoothed or restored conservatively after a clinical examination.
We will do our best to coordinate family appointments. Let our reception team know how many people need to be seen and your preferred times. We will aim to group visits so your family’s routine care is efficient and convenient.
Mild sensitivity can happen for a short period. Use a sensitive toothpaste, keep the area clean and avoid very hot or cold foods for a day or two. If discomfort worsens or does not settle, contact the practice so we can review and advise.
Yes. Please let us know your concerns when you book. We will go at your pace, explain each step and can plan shorter visits if helpful. Many patients find simple techniques, like breathing exercises and listening to explanations, make appointments feel easier.
Light bleeding can be a sign of inflammation. Keep brushing twice daily with a soft toothbrush, clean between teeth once a day and avoid vigorous scrubbing. If bleeding persists for more than a week, book an examination so we can check your gum health and advise next steps.
We allow enough time to understand your history and complete a thorough assessment. Your first visit typically includes a full examination and any indicated X-rays, then we will discuss a clear plan. We will make each step straightforward and supportive.
