What is bruxism?
Bruxism is excessive grinding or clenching of teeth that isn’t part of normal chewing movements. It can lead to excessive wear on the teeth and may cause permanent damage to the teeth/jaw joints. For more information visit our general dentistry page.
What are the symptoms of gum disease?
To determine if you have any symptoms of gum disease, you need to be aware of the following:
• bleeding of the gums when brushing

• sore or sensitive gums
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it is recommended you make an appointment with our friendly team to determine the treatment you may require.

How do I clean my baby’s teeth?
As soon as your baby’s teeth appear, clean them with gauze or a soft face washer wrapped around your fingers, or brush them with a child-sized, soft toothbrush.
How do I clean my child’s teeth?
From 12 months you can start brushing your child’s teeth with a soft children’s toothbrush using tap water only, or a non-fluoride toothpaste. From 18 months to 6 years you can start brushing your child’s teeth with low fluoride toothpaste designed for children, using a pea-sized amount. Parents will need to assist children to brush up until the age of 6 or 7.
From what age can my child get braces?
We recommend orthodontic screening for all children by the age of 9 to assess the need for braces. Earlier treatment to prevent the incorrect development of teeth and jaws might be recommended if necessary.
What are fissure sealants?
A preventative measure where a thin layer of coating covers the grooves of the back teeth, often missed by kids when they brush. For more information on fissure sealants click here.

Not all procedures are suitable for every patient, and outcomes can vary widely from person to person. We strongly recommend that all patients seek a second opinion before proceeding with any cosmetic treatment.
Patients cannot consent to cosmetic treatment until they have had an in-person consultation with the dentist who will perform the service.
