How often should I see the dentist?

How often should I see the dentist?

Its not as easy a question as it might sound. Historically people were told that they needed to see the dentist every 6 months but that’s not always the case. Here we will try to clarify how often or when you need to see the dentist. 

Root canal or extraction? What to choose?

Root canal or extraction

When a tooth gets heavily broken down, starts giving pain or gets an infection a decision may need to be made on whether to save the tooth (root canal) or whether to extract it. Most often this is due to pain associated with tooth decay, a deep filling or an infection. 

What’s involved in a dental check-up

Even if it’s been many years since your last dental check-up or if you’re a regular attender its always good to refresh what’s done as part of a full dental check-up. Most people are just worried if they need fillings but there’s much more to it than that.
