Do I need an appointment?
It is better to book, because each dentist has one chair. Send a WhatsApp message or call. If you walk in, you may wait 20 to 40 minutes.
Does a root canal hurt?
The tooth is numbed before anything is done. You feel pressure and vibration, not pain. Mild soreness for a day or two after is normal and a paracetamol is usually enough.
I have diabetes or high blood pressure. Can I get an extraction?
Yes, in most cases. Bring your latest sugar or pressure reading and the list of medicines. If you take a blood thinner we will talk to your physician first.
Is scaling bad for teeth?
No. Scaling removes tartar from the surface; it does not thin the enamel. Teeth can feel sensitive for a few days afterwards because the gums settle back.
How do you sterilise instruments?
Every instrument set is washed, sealed in a pouch and run through the autoclave at 134 degrees. Pouches are opened in front of you. Needles, gloves and suction tips are single use.
Do you take health insurance?
We give a printed bill and treatment summary that most insurers accept for reimbursement. We do not do cashless.
