Preventive Dentistry

Tooth Decay and Gum Disease are the two biggest issues faced by patients. Despite them being relatively easy to manage through good oral hygiene, they are the most common causes of tooth loss.

Teeth are constantly exposed to a build-up of substances throughout the day. This build-up forms on teeth as plaque, a substance which not only harbours bacteria but also produces acid which can damage tooth structure. There is also a link between increased oral bacteria and other serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Even the best brushing and flossing routines cannot eliminate all traces of plaque. Left on your teeth, plaque becomes hard tartar, which cannot be brushed off. This then traps more plaque and the cycle repeats, causing gum disease and frequently bad breath. Combined with a good oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing twice a day, regular trips to the hygienist in between dental appointments are the best way of ensuring that your teeth stay healthy and strong.

Because of my previous experience of going to the dentist I lacked confidence and trust and I had not returned for treatment. Consequently I and was no longer registered with a dentist surgery and urgent treatment was needed.After months of trying, I was eventually able to make an appointment at Heralds Way. I was apprehensive, because I usually find going to the dentist an unpleasant experience, and on this occasion I also anticipated extensive work being needed. This is because I had been told by my previous dentist (at a different surgery) that treatment for my tooth was complex and would cost about £1,800.I was seen by Jasreet Sagoo, at Heralds Way, and her warm welcome and relaxed approach immediately reassured me. After examination, she advised that the major work I had been recommended was, in her opinion, a last result, and she felt that it was not necessary at this time. Instead, Jasreet recommended filling the tooth, and I felt completely confident in her judgement. All my previous concerns were unfounded, and for the first time in memory, when going to the dentist, I felt reassured and relaxed! I feel huge relief that the dental work needed is finally being completed, and even more, because I finally have found a dentist who I feel comfortable with, and completely trust and have confidence in. My faith is restored! I never thought I would be able to say that going to the dentist is a positive experience - so thank you Jasreet Sagoo, and Heralds Way Dental Clinic. I will be back!!

I'm personally not a fan of the dentist and hadn't been in nearly 8 years. I started slowly with invisalign and have finally built up to a checkup. Faayaaz, Cathy and the team have been amazing, havinng always reassured me and discussed all options available.I also have a rare blood disorder, which they've gone over and above to be accommodating for. Could not recommend this surgery enough! I now love my smile even more.

A trip to the dentist is never an appealing thought; but the whole experience at Heralds Way was fantastic. From the ease of completing forms online to the warm welcome and the excellent examination were all truly appreciated and made me feel at ease. Well done to the whole team for making the experience so relaxing.Jan-24 Update: The customer service and dental clinicians are all fantastic. I cannot give enough praise for this dentist practice; each & everyone of the staff are superb.

Routine appointment with Dental Hygienist Louise W.Warm welcome from Reception on arrival and sat in the smart waiting room. As I had filled in the routine status forms online in advance only a short wait before being called.Louise gets to know you as a person and not a patient number. She readily advises on the condition of your teeth and what needs to be done. She also listens to your concerns and addresses them with considered response.I left the practice with beautifully cleaned, shiny teeth and a calm state of mind.Would I recommend? Without hesitation!

Great check-up with Simi which only took 5 minutes.£25 seems a lot of money now that I am a pensioner but would be worth it if free cleaning was reinstated as tartar builds up even with electric toothbrush. Stopped during Covid but not sure why?

I am terrified of the dentists which is why I left it so long before going back as I was in considerable pain. My dentist was excellent and very calming and kind. I had a tooth extracted and a filing and left pain free. I will definitely make sure I come back regularly from now on.

I very recently had an extraction that was replaced with a single denture. I needed the extraction to remove an unsightly tooth ruining my smile for my daughter's upcoming wedding. The entire event through consultation to withdrawal was made stress free by Dr Sai Maneesh and his wonderful team (including all the receptionists). All done in plenty of time for the event. Thank you so much

Just as you should visit your dentist twice a year, you should also aim to visit your hygienist every six months, unless directed otherwise.
