Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should I start bringing my children to see the Dentist?

We would recommend that your child starts attending regular dental appointments from the ages of 2 - 3 years. It is always a good idea to allow your child to come with you from a young age so that they get used to the enviroment, sounds and smells.

Can I eat before before my dental appointment?

Yes,  we would always recommend that you eat normally before you attend your dental appointment, No matter what treatment you are having done.

Can I eat after my dental appointment?

Yes, you can eat normally after your treatment, However if you have had local anaesthetic we would recommend that you wait until the numbness has worn off. (Normally a couple of hours) After an Extraction, try to avoid chewing on the siteof extraction for at least 24 hours.

How often should I have a routine check up?

A routine dental examination would normally fall between 3 and 12 months, depending on your own Clinical requirements. Your personal needs will be discussed with you by your dentist and a recall period arranged.
