We know that people living in the UK lead extremely busy lives, and that they are always dashing about. Whether it is going to and from work, carrying out the activities associated with raising a family or getting on with their busy social lives, people never seem to have enough time to do everything and this can lead to the seemingly minor things being missed.

Something that you must never miss, if at all possible, is taking care of your oral hygiene needs every day, by brushing your teeth once in the morning and once at night before retiring to bed. But this is not the only tool available to us when it comes to the ability to obtain and maintain a high standard of oral health. Many of us must also remember to create the time to visit a dental practice to undergo a dental check-up and receive any dental treatment we may need.

At Plowman & Partners, a dentist in Marylebone, we want all of our patients to recognise the benefits of having strong oral hygiene standards, and we are here to help you obtain the standards that you desire.

Why you should care about your oral health

We feel that it is necessary for every patient to understand how important it is for them to visit a dentist in Marylebone as part of a successful oral health approach. When it comes to having a proactive approach to your oral health and hygiene, the time you spend undergoing a dental check-up may be the most important time you spend in a dental chair.

The dental check-up time is used to allow our dental professional to examine your teeth, gums, and mouth tissue, allowing them to record and monitor your progress with your oral hygiene. This can assist in the monitoring of any issues you may have that are in the early stages of development, allowing treatment or another course of action to be taken in the hope of preventing the need for a more invasive treatment being used, such as a filling or an extraction.

Should the check-up show that you are in need of treatment or a referral to another dental professional, such as a hygienist, then the implementation process that will allow this to take place can run smoothly due to the fact you are already known to our dental practice.

At your check-up appointments, you should feel free to start a conversation about any concerns you may have or raise any questions that may come to your mind, as we want you to fully understand any and all dental procedures you may be receiving. We have found that when our patients understand the need for treatment fully they feel more confident about receiving it and often report strong results.

Take the next step

If you are one of our patients who has not visited a dentist in Marylebone for a check-up in some time, then we feel that you should seek to change this as soon as you possibly can, your teeth, gums and mouth will thank you for it.

Your oral health is highly important and needs attention every day to keep it maintained at an optimal level.
