You may have avoided visiting a dentist in some time simply because it has slipped your mind and over time you become more embarrassed about the length of time it has been since you have seen one. You may suffer from dental fear or anxiety brought about by a bad experience or talk of one.
Sometimes, we only contact our dental healthcare provider in an emergency and strike problems if we find that we are not registered and therefore cannot be seen on short notice. Thankfully, your dentist in Liverpool is always welcoming new patients who either need to see us straight away or have decided to bite the bullet and do something about their oral health and overall well-being.
We are non judgemental and understanding, doing all we can to ensure that you feel welcomed, relaxed and comfortable throughout your assessment. With special attention given to those who experience dental fear, we go the extra mile to let you know that you are not alone and that we make no judgements on your previous actions or inaction, simply aiming to provide you with top quality dental care and provide you with a smile that you are comfortable and happy with.
Looking after your oral health now is the best way to avoid needing any restorative work in the future. The earlier we can detect issues, the easier and cheaper they are to fix. Your dentist in Liverpool will provide you with a comprehensive oral health assessment so that you can have a full understanding of your condition and what we can do about it to maintain and improve it in years to come.
What happens during this assessment?
During this consultation, we will provide you with a full oral cancer screen, additionally providing you with information so that you are armed with the knowledge to understand what is normal and what isn’t. After understanding what some of your life choices and habits are, we can also provide statistics so that you are aware of the likelihood you have of preventing this disease.
We will always examine your teeth, gums and mouth for signs of disease, decay or infection, taking X-rays if necessary to be absolutely certain of the status of your oral health.
During each appointment, we allow time for discussion so that you can get to know us and we can get to know you. We enjoy building a strong rapport with our patients and want you to feel comfortable to ask us questions regarding your oral health.
We will provide tips and tricks to ensure you are doing all you can to maintain a good level or oral hygiene at home, as preventive care is always more valuable than a cure to a symptom.
At the end of the consultation, we will lay down any plans for future treatment and discuss the options that are available to you regarding this matter. It is important to act quickly on certain matters to ensure that issues remain small and kept under control.
We look forward to getting to know you and providing you with solutions to your smile goals with your dentist in Liverpool.
