Sawtry Dental Practice Huntingdon
Prevention is better than a cure
It might sound like a cliché but when it comes to looking after your teeth, prevention really is better than a cure.
As a patient at Sawtry Dental you will be asked to attend regular check-ups where your dentist will carry out a thorough examination of your teeth and assess the overall health of your mouth. We routinely also carry out oral cancer checks to help detect it early.
Regular check-ups play a vital role in enabling us to identify potential risks or problems with your teeth or even before they occur. You are welcome to use your regular check-up as an opportunity to discuss any dental concerns you may have, or to ask for advice from your dentist.

Children's Dentist Huntingdon
Children's Dental Check-ups
At Sawtry Dental we recommend that children start to visit their dentist once their first teeth emerge. They should then attend a checkup every 6-12 months to maintain their oral health. This is essential as children’s teeth are softer than adult teeth and more susceptible to damage from decay. This means that small problems can become much bigger problems much faster than they would for adults.
Regular dental check-ups will also help children to develop good oral health habits, including brushing every day. They are also much less likely to develop a fear of the dentist if this is a routine part of their life.
