General Dentistry
General dentistry is at the heart of what we do at Whickham Dental Practice.
Looking after the dental health of all the generations is what comes first: Welcoming a child on their first ever visit, helping the very elderly maintain a comfortable dentition, and everything in between.
Of course, as dentistry has evolved, especially cosmetically so too has our team. But looking after the basic dental needs and doing it well is key.
Central to this is the dental examination- arguably the most important appointment of the lot. This is the time to diagnose and discuss what and how something needs treating. Perhaps even, what doesn’t need treating. The health of the teeth, the health of the gums and all the surrounding structures.
All our dentists are highly trained at the prestigious universities of Newcastle and Manchester, and are well motivated in their postgraduate development.
We have a strong emphasis too, on the preventive role of our hygienists.
Our patients have their role to play in our preventive dental approach – regular attendance and following the advice is crucial to this team effort.
It is our job to encourage this in our calm and gentle manner.
