The problem is it doesn’t necessarily follow that not having any pain, means you don’t have any dental problems. Tooth decay and gum disease need to be well advanced before they cause pain. By the time they cause pain treatment becomes more difficult and more expensive and time consuming. At your dental check-ups we will check your teeth and gums very carefully and advise you of any potential problems. We also check for mouth cancer. If your teeth and gums are completely healthy, we will give you further oral hygiene advice to ensure they stay that way.

You can either pay by cash or credit/debit card.

Payments for treatment are taken as treatment is completed on a pay as you go basis, often a deposit is taken for crown, dentures, bridge and implant work

PRIVATE: All private treatment must be paid for at the completion of each visit.

NHS: All patients please note that charges for NHS Treatment must be paid in full before further appointments are booked.

EXEMPT: if you are exempt from NHS charges proof must be shown.

Please phone the practice on 0141 951 1794 as soon as possible. We will do everything we can to help you. The earlier in the day that you ring, the more likely you are to be seen that same day and at a time that suits you best. If the practice is closed and you cannot wait until opening time, call NHS 111 for out of hours emergency service.

Many people feel a bit nervous at the thought of seeing the dentist, particularly a new dentist. Sometimes this fear or phobia is so severe it will stop people coming to see us unless they are in really severe pain. It could be you’ve had bad experiences as a child and the smells and sounds in the surgery bring those memories back, or your fear is very specific and you are really scared of injections or the slow drill. Whatever your problem is we can help!

The first thing to do is make an appointment and tell us you are nervous. You will find us sympathetic and friendly. We are nice and we don’t tell people off! We will listen to you and will do everything we can to help. We use anaesthetic cream to numb your gum before we give injections, we put you in charge so if you ever want us to stop you just wave at us and we stop. We go at your pace and we do treatment in short bursts.

If you haven’t been to the dentist in a long time you may be really worried about how much treatment you need. Most of the time it is nowhere near as bad as you imagine. The biggest thing is picking up the phone and making the appointment! You must ensure if you make an appointment to attend.

The nicotine and tar in smoke will stain your teeth, it will cause and accelerate gum disease which may lead to tooth loss, you may get bad breath and it also increases your risk of developing mouth and throat cancers. Smoking reduces the blood and oxygen supply to the gums. Quite often this will mean that if you smoke your gums don’t bleed (first warning sign of gum disease), even though they are very unhealthy. If you are thinking about quitting please go to http://smokefree.nhs.uk/ where you will find lots of information support and advice to help you. You need to visit us regularly so we can check your mouth for the very earliest signs of mouth cancer. To help protect yourself from teeth staining, gum disease and increased risk of oral cancer we would strongly recommend you stop smoking.
