Your dentist should make up an important part of your healthcare team from your earliest years. Victoria Road Dental Clinic in Ruislip offers a wide range of treatments for all the family, and welcomes new patients of all ages – whether for a general check-up, to have a specific problem or concern addressed, or to brighten a smile with a course of cosmetic dentistry.
Studies have shown that children who visit the dentist from an early age are less likely to suffer from dental phobia later in life. We welcome young patients to our Ruislip clinic as soon as their first teeth start to appear, helping to familiarise them with the practice environment and learning to see the dentist as a friendly face, as well as offering preventative treatments such as fissure sealants and fluoride varnish, and spotting any issues that need addressing as early as possible.
Teenagers
The teenage years are often associated with orthodontic treatment – more specifically, metal braces. When having orthodontic treatment it is more important than ever before to practise good oral hygiene, and both the hygienist and dentist at our Ruislip practice can help your teenager to look after their teeth.
Pregnancy
The dentist may be the last person you’re thinking about with all the excitement of an imminent arrival, but in fact it is very important to have regular dental check-ups during pregnancy. Some conditions such as gum disease are more prevalent when you are pregnant, thanks to hormonal changes in the body. Some women also experience problems with enamel erosion caused by morning sickness. An appointment with your Ruislip dentist can help you manage any strange or alarming oral health symptoms, which usually disappear soon after baby is born.
Older people
Thanks to modern advances in dentistry, getting older no longer has to mean losing your natural teeth. Whether you have a full set of healthy teeth, a mouth full of dentures retained by dental implants, or anything in between, by attending regular check-ups with your Ruislip dentist you can ensure that your oral health remains in prime condition.
