General Dentistry

Frequently asked questions

What is general dentistry?

General dentistry involves a range of dental treatments and services designed to improve your overall oral health. General dental treatments are the most common reason to visit your dentist, and we love forming working relationships with our patients to help keep their teeth and gums in the best condition.

How often do I need to see a dentist?

Most patients should visit their dentist for a check-up every 6-12 months, depending on the condition of their oral health. We will give you an indication of when to book your next appointment at the end of each visit.

How often should I see a dental hygienist?

To best look after your oral health, we recommend you visit the dental hygienist alongside your regular dental check-up appointments. This may be at intervals of 6-12 months, or more frequently to improve your gum health.
