Emergencies

In case of an emergency during practice hours, please contact the practice immediately. We will always endeavour to see a patient in pain the same day. If you require emergency treatment outside surgery hours, please telephone the practice where you will hear a message detailing the specific arrangements for that day.

Safety

We take all necessary precautions to safeguard you and our staff. We follow recommended guidelines with regard to sterilisation of instruments and the use of disposable items, e.g. gloves and needles. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Dental care tips

In between visits, we still like to help our patients care for their smile by providing tips and advice to ensure you maintain your dental health.
Here’s a handy guide for you to follow:

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste – ideally last thing at night and one other time during the day
• Try to brush your teeth for at least two minutes every time for a thorough clean
• Don’t brush too hard – it could damage your gums and remove enamel from your teeth
• Clean between teeth with floss or dental tape to get rid of plaque that can’t be reached with regular brushing
• Pay attention to when you eat sugar and how much – when possible, try to limit sugar intake to straight after your meal
  

Your dentist or hygienist will provide bespoke care advice at every appointment, to ensure you receive care that is tailored to your needs.

Cancellations

If you have to cancel an appointment, please give us 24 hours’ notice so that we can offer the time to someone waiting for treatment. You will be charged for short notice cancellations or missed appointments.
