Regular check-up appointments

It is common knowledge that in the past with a few patients, visits to our dentist in Ipswich have been considered unimportant unless a dental emergency has taken place. And, whilst some people may have had regular appointments as a child, as an adult they became a part of life which no longer seemed important. After all, why visit the dental practice if your teeth feel fine?

This approach to dentistry is extremely outdated and the importance of regular check-ups couldn’t be more important.

Having regular appointments whether toothache is apparent or not, enables our dentist to spot early signs of potential dental problems. Preventive dentistry is a dental process that all dentists prefer, as by intervening early on more intensive treatments and procedures are avoided further down the line. During your visit for a check-up your dental team can learn where there may be problems within your daily oral hygiene process. This could range from a variety of things including brushing too hard, to not brushing effectively in certain parts of the mouth. Whether these tweaks are needed or not, by ensuring you have regular visits the complications further down the line are in most cases avoided.

Appointments through childhood

Encouraging parents and guardians to bring their children to our dentist in Ipswich can on occasions be a challenge. Whilst everyone wants their children to have great dental health the thought of trying to get a child to sit and have the appointment can be enough to discourage parents or guardians. However, studies have shown that children who have regular visits to the dental practice from as young as six months old are being set up for positive dental visits in the future. By attending these appointments on a regular basis throughout childhood, any fears and phobias surrounding the visits are dramatically reduced and in most cases eliminated. Whilst this may seem unbelievable, studies have been carried out on the subject due to the rising number of adults suffering from some form of discomfort regarding their visits to dental practices.

Why choose our dental practice?

When choosing a dental practice for yourself and perhaps your family as well, it is important to get the right fit for you. Whilst some people choose a dental practice based on distance only, it is important to ensure that you are receiving the most up-to-date knowledge and processes alongside a friendly and encouraging approach to your overall dental wellbeing. WIth advances in technology and dental knowledge around the world, it is important to understand all your options and find a suitable approach for your individual needs. This is where our dentist in Ipswich takes pride in their approach, as each of our patients is treated as an individual and we strive to understand every one of our patients by creating positive relationships, which encourage the best form of dental care.

By working as a team we aim to help you accomplish your dental dreams.
