Maintain your teeth and gums with routine examinations, hygiene care, fillings and personalised preventive advice. We welcome new and existing private patients at our Kington practice.
What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on monitoring and maintaining the health of your teeth, gums and mouth. At Kington Dental, this may include routine examinations, oral-health assessments, hygiene care, preventive advice, fillings and referrals or further treatment where a problem is identified.
Why Does General Dentistry Matter?
Regular dental reviews can help identify changes in the teeth, gums and soft tissues. Where a concern is found, the dentist can explain the available options and recommend an appropriate review or treatment plan. The timing of future examinations will depend on your individual oral-health needs.
Our Approach to Preventive Dental Care
At Kington Dental we believe in a proactive and preventative approach to dental care. Using the very latest technology to provide efficient, effective treatments, whilst providing a comfortable experience for patients of all ages.
New-Patient and Routine Examinations
Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite and the soft tissues of your mouth. They will ask about your dental and general health, discuss any concerns and provide preventive advice. Photographs, digital X-rays or an intraoral scan may be recommended where clinically appropriate.
Dental Hygiene and Gum Care
Hygiene appointments may include an assessment of your gum health, removal of plaque and calculus deposits and personalised advice on brushing and interdental cleaning. The recommended frequency will depend on your gum health and individual needs.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Fillings may be used to repair teeth affected by decay, wear or selected minor damage. Your dentist will explain the appropriate material, expected appearance and ongoing care before treatment.
Restorative Treatment When Required
If an examination identifies a damaged, decayed or missing tooth, your dentist may discuss options such as a filling, crown, bridge or other restorative treatment. The recommended approach will depend on the condition of the tooth, your bite and your wider oral health.
Preventive Advice
Your dentist or hygienist can provide advice based on your oral-health risks. This may include brushing technique, interdental cleaning, fluoride use, diet, smoking and alcohol, and the timing of your next examination or hygiene appointment.
Preventive Advice and Ongoing Care
Following an examination or treatment, our team will provide advice based on your oral-health needs. This may include brushing guidance, interdental cleaning, fluoride use, diet and the recommended timing of your next review. Where ongoing treatment is needed, the dentist will explain the proposed stages and any relevant aftercare.
Maintaining Your Oral Health Between Visits
Include practical, evidence-aligned advice on:
Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
Cleaning between the teeth
Limiting frequent sugar intake
Smoking cessation support
Reporting persistent symptoms
Attending at the interval recommended by the dentist
