Dental Facts:

[bad breath]
Did you know that about 85% of people with bad breath have a dental condition that is to blame? If bad breath is the cause of a dental condition, mouthwash will only mask the odour and not cure it. Don’t be embarrassed to talk to your dentist, they are there to help you. Flossing daily and brushing your teeth & tongue twice a day can greatly reduce and possibly eliminate bad breath!

[root canal]
If you've heard that root canals are horrible, you're not alone. But with today’s technology, root canals are nothing like most people think. We have many patients comment that their root canal wasn't as bad as they presumed it would be.

NHS Dental Care
what services can you expect?

At TG's dental suite our dentists, dental nurses, dental hygienists and reception staff will always aim to provide a high standard of care and service for all our patients, whether they be receiving NHS or private dental treatment. We have agreed with Northamptonshire PCT (Primary Care Trust) to provide NHS services for our exempt patients and children.

NHS dental treatment includes all treatment necessary to maintain and secure your oral health. We also provide a full range of private treatment options for patients who choose to have treatment that is not available under the NHS. You will find a poster in the reception area of the clinic detailing the costs associated with NHS treatment and your dentist will be able to advise you of the cost of any private treatment.

You are entitled to:

  • A thorough examination of your teeth and gums
  • A full explanation of your treatment options
  • A written treatment plan
  • Information about NHS charges
  • Advice on how to keep your teeth and gums healthy
  • Information about the practice and services available
 

You are responsible for:

  • Giving at least 24 hours notice if you have to cancel an appointment
  • Following your dentists advice to prevent tooth decay and gum disease
  • Paying your bill promptly
  • Bringing proof of entitlement when claiming help with the cost of NHS treatment.
  • Treating our staff with courtesy and respect

NHS Treatment For Children

Children are born free of dental disease, yet by adulthood 95% of the population has active gum disease and most people have experienced some tooth decay and even tooth loss! It is our belief that this disease can be prevented. Our aim is to provide your child with the best dental care available to secure their dental health.

We ask parents to register their children from birth so that we can see them twice a year on the NHS to help them grow up free from dental disease. However, if they do need treatment, we can offer them alternatives* not generally available on the NHS, such as mercury-free white fillings.

*To the children of members of our Dental Care Plans we can offer these alternatives on the same terms as their parents.
