Plain-English answers to the questions patients ask us in the chair, each checked by one of our clinicians.

  1. An empty treatment room with a dental chair and overhead light How often do you really need a check-up? Six months is a habit, not a law. Here is how we decide the right interval for you.
  2. Dental instruments laid out on a tray beside a window A tooth has been knocked out: what to do in the first hour An adult tooth replanted within an hour can often be saved. Here is exactly what to do.
  3. Hands holding a model of teeth with an implant Whitening: what shade change should you expect? Shade tabs, ΔE and why “ten shades whiter” is usually marketing.
  4. Doughnuts, chocolate and sweets on a white table Sugar, timing and your teeth How often you have sugar matters more than how much. A short guide to snacking.
  5. Toothpaste being squeezed onto a toothbrush Brushing: what actually matters Two minutes, fluoride, and spit don’t rinse. The rest is detail.
