At Marton Dental Practice, regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. While the exact frequency may vary depending on individual needs, routine dentist and hygienist visits are part of your preventive armour against dental infections and gum disease. For most people, check-ups are recommended every 6 months, though patients at higher risk may be advised to come in more frequently.

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by several factors, including:

• Dental infections or decay reaching the inner layers of the tooth.
• Gum recession exposing the tooth’s dentine (a weaker layer than enamel).
• Cracked or chipped teeth.
• Worn fillings or enamel erosion.

If you’re experiencing sensitivity, it could also be a sign of underlying gum disease or the early stages of a dental infection that may require attention, such as a root canal treatment if left untreated.

Marton Dental Practice offers professional at-home teeth whitening using White Dental Beauty products. This treatment involves:

• Custom-made whitening trays based on 3D digital scans.
• Dentist-supervised application of a safe, vegan-friendly whitening gel.
• Wear time as short as 30 minutes per day.

The process is non-invasive, gentle on sensitive teeth, and results can last for years with good maintenance.

Bleeding gums are often a sign of gum disease, caused by the build-up of plaque and tartar. If left untreated, this can progress to serious gum damage, tooth loss, and even systemic health issues like cardiovascular disease.

Marton Dental’s hygienists offer:

• Scale and polish treatments to remove plaque.
• Deep cleaning below the gumline to close gum pockets.
• Tailored advice for ongoing gum maintenance.

Early treatment can reverse gum disease and prevent more invasive procedures later.
