Taking care of your child’s teeth
More children are visiting their dentist at an earlier age than ever before. The proportion of children making their first visit to the dentist before the age of two has doubled since 1993. This, along with subsequent routine examinations, will ensure your child is getting the care they deserve to prevent dental problems later in life. Please ask us about the best option for your child’s dental care.

Regular dental check ups are very important as they allow us to monitor the health of your mouth and help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. This can mean less fillings, less likelihood of toothache, more attractive teeth and a greater chance of keeping your own teeth for life.
As part of your dental examinations, we perform a comprehensive assessment of the overall health of your mouth,
including : – teeth
- gums
-soft tissues, ie tongue, palate, floor of mouth, cheeks
We are trying to keep you as healthy as possible so that you reduce the risk of future problems and treatment, and look and feel great.

You probably don’t even realise it, but your regular dental examination involves more than just your teeth
and gums. At the Dental Suite, our dentist at every check up also examine the oral soft tissues (lips, tongue, floor of mouth, cheeks,
roof of mouth and throat) for signs of disease, and also oral ancer. Oral cancer occurs nearly as frequently as cervical cancer, although it causes more deaths. Early detection is essential to increase the chances of a complete cure; if the cancer is caught early enough, it can be treated and cured very simply.
If you smoke or drink alcohol you are at higher risk of developiong oral cancer, with the risks heavily
increasing if you do both. Chewing tobacco is also a major risk factor for developing oral cancer.
In addition to attending your dentist for regular checks, you can greatly reduce your own risk of developing
oral cancer by stopping smoking and reducing your alcohol intake. If you require any advise on smoking cessation or if you have any concerns about your risk of developing oral cancer, please contact us for further help and advice.
