It is imperative that everyone visits the dentist to keep on top of their oral health, even if you have never had any problems, only a dentist can recognise certain problems with your teeth and treat them before they become worse. For example, unbeknown to you, you may have some plaque. Plaque can cause cavities. A cavity is a hole that gets bigger and deeper over time, and if deep enough can damage a nerve and can lead to sensitivity and pain. It’s also possible that you may develop an abscess which may require a root filling, or even worse extraction of the tooth.
Yes, normally private dentists offer payment plans to help spread the cost of dental treatment. Also you can have a set monthly plan that includes all your dental needs for the year. This way you can budget and feel comfortable to not have to worry about a large dental bill again.

Most dentists remove wisdom teeth in general practice. It can be a normal and routine procedure. In some cases wisdom teeth can become trapped under the gum in the bone, at difficult angles to physically see. A dental x ray will confirm this. In these circumstances extraction can be tricky because actually seeing and gaining access to a small space in the mouth may be impossible. In this circumstance it may be necessary for a specialist to assess the position of the tooth and extract it due to greater experience in dealing with awkward cases. This may involve a small surgical procedure where you may have local anesthetic with or without the use of sedation. Contact us for more information.
It really depends on what treatment you have carried out at the dentist. All the fees should be explained to you prior to seeing the dentist and you won’t be forced into having any treatment. You will also be informed about the estimated fees and be given a treatment plan prior to any dental work being undertaken.
