Regular Check-ups FAQ

How often do I need to visit a dentist?

You should visit the dental practice at Guildford every 6 to 12 months. Your dentist will advise whether you should be seen more or less frequently. Factors such as the health of your teeth, whether you smoke, whether you are pregnant, if you have diabetes and if you have gum disease will affect how often your dentist will want to see you.

Will dental treatment hurt?

For any dental treatment that may cause pain such as a tooth extraction or dental implants we will give you a local anaesthetic so that the area is numbed.

Should I use a mouthwash?

Using a mouthwash is a personal decision, some patients like the feeling of having a fresh mouth after brushing. It’s important to remember that a mouthwash does not compensate for brushing your teeth so don’t use a mouthwash instead of brushing. Also, patients should not be rinsing with mouthwash straight after brushing, as this actually rinses away the key ingredients in fluoride which help to protect the teeth. Ideally mouthwash should be used separately from brushing their teeth, if at all, research has shown leaving a minimum of 30 minutes should be had in between the use of mouthwash and brushing the teeth. Likewise, patients should not be rinsing with water after brushing either. Beware of mouthwashes that are highly acidic which can slowly erode tooth enamel.
