Frequently asked questions

How often do I need a hygiene visit?

Hygiene recall can vary from every two months to every six months depending on the health of your mouth. The dentist will advise you of the best interval for you.

What to do if my gums are bleeding ?

This is nearly always a sign of gum disease, which is very common and equally very treatable.

What to do – The best thing is to visit either the dentist for a routine check up or at the very least book in for a hygiene treatment to give your teeth and gums a clean and receive advice on how to keep them clean.

 

I have receding gums, what can I do?

Gum disease can cause the gums to recede to varying extents and this can cause the teeth to appear longer, more yellow, become more sensitive and give the appearance of “gappy” teeth or “black triangles”.

What to do – This can often be a sign of more developed or aggressive gum disease and you should seek urgent advice from your dentist.
