What it is.
A full exam of your teeth, gums and bite, followed by a gentle clean to remove plaque and tea or coffee staining. We finish with a plain account of what we saw and what, if anything, needs doing.
Who it’s for.
- Anyone who has not been seen in the last six months
- Patients with no pain who want to keep it that way
- Anyone coming back after a long gap, with no judgement
What to expect.
- A short talk about your teeth, worries and budget
- A gentle exam, with X-rays only if they are needed
- A scale and polish, paused whenever you raise a hand
- A written summary emailed the same day
How long it takes.
45 minutes in the chair. Allow a little longer on a first visit, which is booked for a full hour.
Aftercare.
- Eat and drink as normal once you leave
- Gums can feel tender for a day; rinse with warm salt water
- Brush twice a day and clean between teeth daily
