NHS Dental Treatments:

NHS dental treatment includes all procedures required to keep your mouth healthy. The type of treatment you receive will depend on your individual needs, but may include:

Routine Examinations - Regular check-ups to assess your oral health, identify any issues early, and provide tailored advice on how to care for your teeth and gums.
Scale & Polish (if clinically necessary) - Removal of plaque and tartar when required to help manage gum health. If additional cosmetic cleaning is desired, private options are available.
X-rays - Radiographs help us detect problems that are not visible during a routine examination, such as decay between teeth or issues below the gum line.
Fillings - NHS dentistry provides fillings using appropriate materials to restore damaged or decayed teeth and protect them from further deterioration.
Root Canal Treatment - Treatment to remove infection from inside a tooth and prevent the need for extraction, helping you retain your natural teeth whenever possible.
Extractions - Removal of teeth that cannot be restored and are causing pain or infection.
Crowns, Bridges & Dentures - Restorative treatments provided under the NHS when required to protect or replace teeth. NHS restorations are made to functional standards to ensure proper oral health and comfort.
Preventive Care & Oral Health Advice - Guidance on brushing, flossing, diet, fluoride use, and habits that support long-term oral health.
