Benefits

We recommend that all of our patients, however old or young, visit us at least twice a year for regular examinations so that we can spot early signs of decay and remove any build-up of plaque.

These examinations can also help us to detect early signs of more serious illnesses such as oral cancer. Even our patients who have dentures are recommended to visit every six months.

‍

As well as twice-yearly examinations with a Damira dentist which can help benefit you and your child from preventative treatment, our hygienists can also provide:

Dietary advice (including the use of food and sugar diaries)

Oral hygiene advice (we can recommend home-care products and techniques that best suit you and your child)

Advice on how to prevent your child from sucking their thumb

Specialised cleaning for children undergoing orthodontic treatments

A full range of health and cosmetic clean and care treatments

Help and support with children’s dental anxiety and fear

‍

We also run smoking cessation clinics aimed at parents who want to stop smoking to improve their own health (including their dental health) and that of their children.

Our focus is on preventative care and on promoting good dental habits for your children to follow. However if your child should need more substantive treatment such as fillings or orthodontic work, all of our dental professionals can ensure it is a pain free and stress free experience (for both of you).

Frequently asked questions

General Questions answered here, don't hesitate to contact us about any enquiry

Do you accept new patients?

Yes! We're always happy to welcome new patients of all ages. You can book your first appointment online or by phone, and we'll have you fill out a short health history form before your visit so we can get to know you and your smile.

Does teeth whitening damage your enamel?

No, professional whitening performed or supervised by a dentist is safe and doesn't harm your enamel. Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity for a day or two, which fades on its own. We'll assess your teeth first to make sure whitening is right for you and recommend the safest option.

When should my child have their first dental visit?

We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits are short and friendly, the goal is to check development and help your child feel comfortable at the dentist, so check-ups become a normal, stress-free part of growing up.

How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up?

We recommend a check-up and professional cleaning every six months. Regular visits let us catch small issues, like early decay or gum inflammation, before they become painful or expensive to treat. If you have gum disease or other ongoing concerns, we may suggest more frequent visits.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

Call us right away, we reserve time for same-day emergency appointments. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist (in milk or saliva, not water) and get to us within 30–60 minutes if possible. For severe pain or swelling, don't wait it out; early treatment almost always means a simpler fix.

What happens at my first appointment?

Your first visit includes a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and bite, along with any necessary X-rays. We'll then walk you through what we find in plain language and create a personalized treatment plan, with costs explained upfront. No lectures, no pressure, just a clear picture of your oral health. Plan for about 45–60 minutes.
