Children

It’s important that children get used to the dentist as soon as possible so we recommend you bring them when you come for your check up. 
Once they are used to the place, they will let us have a look at their teeth and eventually climb in the chair themselves. 

The sooner you can get your children to form good habits, like avoiding sugary snacks/drinks and good tooth brushing, the better their dental health will be in later life.

Prevention

Regular check-ups, scaling/polishing and the occasional x-ray are vital to spotting problems early. 

We will recommend the frequency of visit based on you dental health – usually between 6 and 12 months.

The application of topical fluoride and fissure sealing are important prevention measures, especially for children. 
Gum Treatments

Apart from regular scaling/polishing we are constantly looking for the signs of periodontal disease.  This is the chronic inflammation of the gum and bone holding the teeth in place and about 15% of the population will lose a significant number of teeth as a result.

Once we have diagnosed it and initially treated it, our patients will have 4 monthly hygienist or dentist maintenance appointments and will be shown effective self-care oral hygiene measures- which is the key to keeping their teeth.   
Mercury Free Fillings

At Corinium Dental Practice, were possible, we have been avoiding amalgam fillings for the last 25 years.

 The advantages are not just aesthetic, as the composite filling material bonds to the tooth and makes it stronger, and of course it is mercury free.

The E.U. member states have agreed to phase out the use of mercury amalgam fillings by 2030, so it looks like all practices will be eventually follow our lead. 
Root Canal Treatment

Root canal therapy (RCT) is needed when a tooth becomes infected due to injury or decay and would otherwise need to be removed. 
Different teeth have different number and shapes of roots so the process can be pretty complicated and done over a  couple of visits,
Despite this RCT is usually a painless procedure.
Crowns

Crowns are laboratory made restorations the protect damaged, cracked or broken-down teeth.
 Crowns will restore your smile and preserve function.

 Crowns on front teeth are usually all porcelain whereas for posterior teeth they are usually  porcelain fused onto a metal base to make them stronger.
 

Extractions

At all costs we will avoid extraction but sometimes it is the only sensible course of action. 

Don’t worry at Corinium Dental Practice we have many options for their replacement – see our Replacing missing Teeth and Implant pages.
