Why regular visits matter

Around 19 in 20 people will experience gum disease at some point, but good care greatly reduces the risk. Research has also linked gum disease to wider health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and arthritis.

Problems that are caught early are much easier, and cheaper, to treat.

What your examination includes

  • Tooth decay

    We check every tooth for decay, using X-rays or other diagnostics where needed, and share tips to keep problems at bay.

  • Gum disease

    We assess the health of your gums to help prevent early tooth loss.

  • Tooth wear

    A growing problem linked to modern diets and busy, stressful lifestyles.

  • Oral cancer screening

    More than 5,000 people in the UK are diagnosed each year. Regular visits mean any changes can be spotted early.
