Great oral hygiene is not only an essential part of maintaining a healthy smile and keeping your natural teeth for as long as possible, it also helps to avoid the pain and expense of dental treatments.
For the greatest preventative approach to dental care, a good daily oral care regime should be accompanied with regular visits to your dentist and dental hygienist.
What happens during a check-up?
Our dentists will check the health of your teeth, gums, and soft tissue (cheeks and tongue). This will ensure any problems are detected and treated early, preventing them leading to bigger problems, or even tooth loss.
Your dentist will also check for signs of mouth cancer at each dental check-up.
Tooth decay refers to the wearing down of the layers of enamel and dentin that form the outer surface of your teeth. Eventually, this can result in a hole or cavity appearing in your tooth, resulting in increased sensitivity and pain.
Being a smoker, or drinking alcohol can also encourage tooth decay, as these factors affect your saliva production.
Providing you have regular dental check-ups, and maintain good oral hygiene at home, tooth decay shouldn't be a problem.

When you have a tooth, or teeth removed, your dentist will usually give you a local anaesthetic to manage the pain.
Your dentist may numb the affected tooth only or a larger area of your mouth.
Your smile will look more natural with white fillings.
Many people have had amalgam fillings (silver) or gold fillings. Although strong they are unsightly, as amalgam tends to discolour your teeth over time. White or tooth coloured fillings are known as composite fillings and are made from a putty-like resin that can be moulded to the exact shape of the tooth and set using a visible blue light. These are natural and long lasting.
White fillings are the most popular cosmetic dental procedure. They do have some limitations regarding size and position in the mouth; your dentist will discuss these with you.
The latest white fillings are available in a wide range of colours and translucencies, enabling the dentist to closely match the colour of your teeth and give them a natural and pleasant appearance.
Root canal treatment is required when you have very deep decay or a dental injury that affects the centre of your tooth. This central area, called the pulp, is made up of blood vessels and nerves that can become infected if exposed.
Root canal treatment involves your dentist cleaning, shaping and filling the entire root canal of your tooth.
At Affinity we realise that not everyone likes to visit the dentist and we make sure that all our staff are extremely compassionate and understanding towards nervous patients.
For those patients who are worried drop by for a friendly and informal chat so that we can discuss your options to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible. We believe that it should be a pleasant experience and one that leaves you feeling happy and cared for.
Relaxing Inhalation Sedation
One of the options that we offer our patients is a relaxing inhalation sedation also known as laughing gas. This treatment has been really successful and our patients are much happier in general.
Crowns are used to rebuild damaged or weakened teeth. Bridges are a fast way to replace missing teeth.
We use a range of state of the art designs and the top porcelain technicians to give you a solid and beautiful result.
Bleeding Gums
Bleeding gums are one of the most common signs of dental disease. Our dental health programme will address this problem by removing tartar and showing you how to care for your mouth effectively.
Gum Disease
Gum disease can eat away at the bone that supports your teeth causing them to loosen.
Effective treatments help you keep your teeth for as long as possible and avoid problems (e.g., longer, crooked or spaced teeth; red, swollen, receded or bleeding gums and bad breath) that can be associated with serious gum problems.
An abscess can be extremely painful and uncomfortable. We focus on effectively and carefully freezing the tooth first and cleaning the infection carefully to save your tooth and relieve pain.
We use a variety of proven modern techniques to give you the best long-term results.
Dentures or false teeth are removable replacements for missing teeth. Dentures are made of plastic or metal and are custom made to fit well on the gums.
A routine cancer screening check is carried out at every dental examination. This involves looking at risk factors and checking for warning signs in your mouth, cheeks, tongue and face as part of the examination process.
